the theatrical stage: a major role in the critically

Hamburg and New York. In 2020 she played the
demanding and iconic role of "Florence" in the

of 2021 she portrayed "Donna" in the world hit musical
MAMMA MIA! To a massive response; Norwegian

Krüger is worth the ticket alone."
.
Both as a composer and as concert
performer Karoline leans on her
comprehensive work from the theatre
field: Whether the form it takesis
simple and bequiling or dramatically
melodious, it is always interwoven
with the narrative.
Karoline Krüger is to be found in the "Land-of-in-between". She has,
first and foremost, since her debut over three decades ago, firmly established herself in the flora of Norwegian performing artists, as
an exciting and gifted performer and composer. One of her
hallmarks has always been her willingness to seek out new
forms of expression - the theatre being one of them. "The
difference between theperforming artist and the actor", she
says, "was already clearly visible to me in the days of
schoolplay performances. Those who dreamed of becoming
actors wanted to play the part of the Witch: we budding
performers were onlyinterested in playing Snow White...!"
In the course of two decades Karoline Krüger
has released six solo albums and has been
featured on numerous others. Her debut
album, "Fasetter" (Facets) was released in
1988.
The same year she enjoyed a
huge hit in parts of Europe & Asia
with the ballad "You call it love".
However, it was with the album "Fuglehjerte"
(The Heart of a Bird) that she really blossomed
as lyricist andcomposer. The triology of the
"Jacob's Mass", forwhich she wrote the music,
have since the first performance in Oslo in 2000,
been performed and broadcasted in several
Scandinavian countries.
