About the Show

Welcome to Valhalla! This is a place of warriors, valor, and merriment. In Norse mytholgy, Vikings who die in battle are chosen by Odin (the chief god of war) and escorted by the Valkyries (his loyal “shield maidens”) to feast and fight in the “hall of the slain” known as Valhalla. Those who come to Valhalla know they must fight alongside Odin in the age of Ragnarok, the cataclysmic destruction of the cosmos and everything in it – even the gods.

Valhalla | A Viking Rock Opera follows the story of Sven, the newest Viking of a Norwegian clan. Seven years after his father left on a Voyage to settle a new land, Sven, under the leadership of his jarl (chief), Magnus, enters the exotic world of Britain with its strange Christian religion. But when the Vikings’ raiding expedition goes wrong, Sven finds himself alone and out of his element. Desperate to find his way back to Norway, he makes a hostage of a young nun named Mary, who helps him steal a ship and undertake a reckless voyage.

Together, Sven and Mary must overcome their differences as they sail beyond the limits of their worlds, confronting powerful storms, cruel villains, voices from beyond, and crises of faith. Their quest for hope and truth takes them beyond the limits of imagination and into the magical realm of the gods. The only question is what is real.
