Join us on a journey in text and music starting from the heyday of the "Lysthuset Hjorten" in Ila! There will be familiar songs, reunions with old heroes and a high charm factor from the trio Lars Eggen, Are Hembre and Trond Hustad.
With Hjorten as the "common thread", Trøndelag's rich revue life is also presented. The Hjorten Revue and Variety Theater was started in Ila in 1867 by Hans Lemvig Christiansen. Many big stars visited Hjorten over the years, and a number of successes visited the theatre. The entertainment ceased in 1947, the restaurant operation continued until 1955 and was finally demolished in 1961. With this performance, Opera Trøndelag offers a look back at a bygone heyday.
Based on the idea of Opera Trøndelag
