This weekend, Rayfield Allied artist Patrik Ringborg conducted Paul Moravec's opera The Shining based on the novel by Stephen King at Malmö Opera to great critical acclaim.
"At times, you get the feeling that it’s the conductor, Patrik Ringborg, and the orchestra who are actually driving the madness forward, with dissonant harmonies and pounding big-band jazz." - Dagens Nyheter
"When the hotel first appears to the family at the beginning of the first act, the orchestra, led by Patrik Ringborg with precision and warmth, introduces music reminiscent of Valhalla in Richard Wagner’s operatic cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen." - Sydsvenskan
"Instead, one has to rely on the cumulative, multi-sensory impression created by the singers’ performances, the set design, and, above all, the music, which drives the atmosphere and produces some extraordinary sound effects under Patrik Ringborg’s masterful direction." - Cinematic music
The production runs until the 7th October.
