Nederlands Dans Theater I tour Oslo, 26-30 November 2009.
26 November: The office staff of Nederlands Dans Theater waves us goodbye and wishes us good luck for our Oslo tour!
Nederlands Dans Theater I on their way to airport Schiphol.
Also the wardrobe mistresses are checking in for the flight to Oslo Airport.
On a travel day like this, you have to be patient and wait a lot..
In the evening we arrive for the first time at the Norske Opera & Ballett: what a beautiful building!
The wardrobe mistresses will prepare the costumes in their own dressing room.
27 November: By daylight we have an even better view at the huge Opera building.
Our truck already arrived at the Opera!
The Nederlands Dans Theater I technicians arrived a day before the company and started working yesterday. They’re enjoying their lunch in the canteen of the Opera, in a couple of hours our general rehearsal will start.
A snapshot backstage after the premiere. Our board of directors also came to Oslo, to visit this premiere.
29 November: The shop in the Opera is selling our merchandise very well. After the last performance there is nothing left…

Wow… Isn’t this amazing? 1382 seats and all Nederlands Dans Theater performances sold out!
Next to the performances the dancers also have to rehearse. In the studio’s of the Opera they’re working on the new Crystal Pite choreography and on stage there are rehearsals of Vanishing Twin (Jirí Kylián).
30 November: After three successful performances we’ll go back to The Netherlands, enjoying the view of the snowy nature of Norway.
At the airport the snow keeps on falling.. luckily our flight is not delayed and we arrive safely at Schiphol.
