The first sense that is fully developed in an unborn baby is listening: the inner ear with the listening organs reaches its final size in the fifth month of the pregnancy! So a child has already listened to and experienced a multitude of sounds, tones and rhythms before it is born. "Why not continue straight away?" thought Hanne Dieserud and Christina Lindgren. They got together with Maja Ratkje and invented a baby opera truly any child can understand. Using their voices and an array of fantastical musical instruments the two performers unfold a mystical underwater world filled with dreamily soft sounds in the intimate atmosphere of a shell-shaped tent. The playing lasts for 20 minutes and afterwards small and large members of the audience are welcome to discover the space and the instruments. Early musical education really can be this magical.

Realized by Dieserud/Lindgren in coproduction with the Norwegian Opera & Ballet and the Norwegian Touring Theatre supported by the Arts Council Norway, the Norwegian Center for Technology in Music and the Arts, the Fund for Performing Artists and the Audiovisual Fund Norway.
