Concert: Det går an

The season opens with Daniel Fjällström’s opera Det går an, based on Jonas Love Almqvist’s groundbreaking 1839 novel. When first published, the novel caused considerable debate through its challenge to contemporary ideas about marriage, women’s independence, and the individual’s right to shape their own life. Nearly two centuries later, these questions remain deeply relevant.

The opera premiered at Läckö Castle Opera ten years ago and is now brought to life in an intimate chamber version. With a smaller ensemble of cello, violin, and piano, the music unfolds in a close and expressive setting where every detail can be heard. Featuring Annalouisa Magnusson, sopran, and William Tarach, baryton, in the roles of the glassmaker’s daughter and the sergeant, the opera tells a story of love, longing, and the courage to choose one’s own path.

Daniel Fjällström’s music combines dramatic intensity with moments of lyricism and reflection, allowing Almqvist’s ideas to resonate with our own time. We warmly welcome you to a compelling operatic experience where literature, music, and human questions meet.
