Opera as a family show is a difficult genre. In the eagerness to turn to both children of all ages and adults, there is a risk that it will not be very engaging for anyone. Norrlandsoperan strikes with a gossipy Scandinavian premiere of the Czech composer Miloš Vacek’s opera “The Emperor’s New Clothes” based on H C Andersen’s saga. The opera was composed in 1962, but the intended premiere in the home country was stopped by censorship, the world premiere took place in Berlin in 2013.
