Snehvides Spejl - Snow White's Mirror

Snow White's Mirror is a full scale two act dramatic opera written for the Danish National Opera. The opera is a modern re-telling for grown-ups of the brothers Grimm's fairy tale: Snow White is a self-centered teenage narcissist and the villain of the opera; she ends up loosing everyone but herself, either because she kills them, or because they decide they can't stand being around her anymore. But apparently she's o.k. with that...

The music is intended for a large audience: it's basically pop music done with all the craftmanship of a classical composer who'sequally at home with large scale symphonic form, avantgarde technique, opera singing - and modern pop.
