https://fondahuset.hoopla.no/event/tarantella Tarantella is an Italian folk dance in fast 6/8 time. History tells us that it was

danced to get rid of the poison and relieve the pain after the tarantula bite

the spider.

Is Nora dancing to get rid of the poison in her marriage?

Is it the lack of equality in the relationship that is the poison?

Welcome to a concert with Tor Espen Aspaas (piano) and Kjersti Rydsaa (cello)

during the Nora days in the Fondahuset!

Doors open at 6:00 PM. Enjoy a drink at the bar and the art exhibition "A Doll's House" with

artists Elisabeth Werp, Reidun Osvik Wunderbaldinger and Ulf Nilsen before

concert start.

The concert is built around Sergei Rachmaninov's gigantic sonata for cello and

piano, opus 19 (1901). Two equal instruments together build great musical

structures, where the overarching musical ideas demand everything from the musicians. The Sonata

is in four parts, the second movement of which is an ominous, intense tarantella. It will also be

examples of other music in driving 6/8 rhythms.
