Anna Vnuk är bastarden at the Gothenburg City Theatre
Anna Vnuk does not know her father. She has never done that. Quite frankly, she is an unwelcome guest in his life.

But witnesses are needed, people to share the ceremony with.
Wicked at the Göteborg Opera
The musical Wicked tells the story of what happened in the land of Oz before Dorothy got there (in the classic film The Wizard of Oz), from the perspective of the two witches. How mismatched friends Elphaba and Galinda found each other, became the evil and the good witch respectively, and managed to defeat the tyranny of the evil wizard. It’s a story of alienation, courage and love, told with magic, imagination and great music. Several of the songs, including “Defying gravity”, have become big hits.
