Khairos at Den Norske Opera & Ballett

Composer Knut Vaage and librettist Torgeir Pedersen Rebolledo newly written Khairos is a contemporary on & offshore-opera about a man with a hypersensitivity to sounds. Then the sound of a leaf blower in Khairos Park drives him crazy, he kills maskinisten. The punishment he must atone on an oil platform. Here are his eminent hearing, making seismic instruments in oil drilling. From now on, already wealthy society Khairos acquire new profitable oil wells.

"We let Khairos be the name of a civilization, somewhere in his own time, a place that benefit both on fortidige and future resources. And that may be precisely why going to perish, "says librettist Torgeir Pedersen Rebolledo. He recently collaborated with Knut Vaage about Opera Veslefrikk, which in 2010 caused a stir after the world premiere of the new Opera in Munich. From the experienced theater Director Carol Horn, we expect an exciting regigrep when she and National Opera soloists take the Stage 2 with Knut Vaages newly written Apocalypse of an opera.
