Welcome to Opera and Afternoon Tea, 29th February in Palmehaven.

In collaboration with the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera, we are pleased to invite you to an Afternoon Tea experience of the rarest kind.

The performance of "Brüderlein und Schwesterlein" by siblings Maria and Aleksander Nohr and the pianist Eva Holm Foosnæs.

It will be both a familiar and classic experience when Maria and Aleksander Nohr deliver this cheerful performance in Palmehaven. The musical programme includes: operetta numbers by Strauss the younger, Lehàr and Kálmán, as well as arias and duets by Rossini and Mozart, some with their own translations into Norwegian. 

Maria and Aleksander have for a number of years entertained together and built a repertoire that fits well with a lunch setting. They are especially looking forward to performing in Britannia with its unique atmosphere. Their repertoire ranges from humorous to tender and beautiful, and to accompany it all they have Eva Holm Foosnæs on piano.

Seating is at 1:30pm and the concert begins at 2pm.

Price per person NOK 650, including Afternoon Tea and Opera performance.
