THE CONCERT VERSION OF THE MUSICAL KRISTINA
Sat Oct 26, 2024 4:00pm
Benson Great Hall, Bethel University
Join us for the musical journey of Kristina Nilsson and her family, brought to life by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, the legendary songwriters of ABBA. Based on Vilhelm Moberg's The Emigrants series, this concert version of the musical chronicles the Nilsson family and their courageous journey from the harsh realities of mid-19th century Sweden to the promise of a new life in America. The soaring ballads and beautiful melodies interspersed with Scandinavian folk influences and lush orchestral arrangements capture Kristina's experiences of love, loss, and hope that resonate as deeply today as they did over a century ago.
