Les Miserables


A lovely event is taking place on 13th and 14th April in Norway`s oldest theatre located in Drammen (called Union Scene).  You can order tickets now. Les Miserables is presented in a concert with over 100 musicians and singers. This will be an extraordinary and unforgettable concert experience and all the songs are in English.  The tickets are not expensive and you can order them from www.unionscene.no or on telephone number 32 04 59 00.  I am delighted to tell you that one of our members is in the concert.  Prize for the first person who spots her from the audience!
