Join us for a rare Saturday night at DNS! Here there will be musical numbers and other surprises, when the actress and singer Janie Dee enters the stage, directly from London's West End. After the concert, the evening is rounded off with a musical nachspiel in the bar with Cantabile - The London Quartet, who are visiting Norway for the first time.

Janie Dee is an award-winning actress with star status in both the musical and theater worlds. She is celebrated for her extraordinary versatility from stage, film, television and radio. Her career spans everything from Shakespeare at the Royal Shakespeare Company and Shakespeare's Globe, to acclaimed performances in classic plays, modern dramas and comedies, as well as leading roles in many of the great musicals. In addition, she regularly performs her witty and sophisticated cabarets at leading venues in London and across the UK.

"The show's glory is Janie Dee. She plays all the layers simultaneously: incredulous and wistful, chilly and carnal. Is she the best actor in Britain? Could you please.” Sunday Times Culture

NACHSPIEL WITH CANTABILE – THE LONDON QUARTET
Join a musical nachspiel in the bar with the vocal quartet Cantabile – The London Quartet, who will also be visited by the Edvard Grieg Choir.

The quartet has long been known as one of Britain's best vocal groups. Cantabile – The London Quartet was founded in Cambridge, as a purely a cappella student ensemble, and first became known through the Tim Rice musical Blondel in London's West End. Since then, they have performed on a number of different stages, with repertoire ranging from early polyphony, to jazz and contemporary music. They have recorded 18 albums and their extensive touring activities have taken them to the USA, South Africa, Asia and the Far East. They have performed in the most prestigious arenas, for prominent people, including at Buckingham Palace for Queen Elizabeth II.

The quartet recently toured with the show Full English Brexit! - a tour they thought would end in March, then in April... but which for some reason is still going on.

This is their first appearance in Norway.
