SUMMARY:Mari Carrasco's "Little Concert" - Gothenburg Opera Dance Company\, Tour in Sweden (Sweden)
DESCRIPTION:Four dancers as rock stars in “Little Concert” – a dance piece of contrasts for young people. It is wild and elegant\, passionate and depressing. \n\n\nInternationally\, GöteborgsOperans Danskompani are almost as acclaimed as rock stars. Tickets for their tour performances sell out all over the world. When four of the dancers go on tour in Västra Götaland\, they are not only dancers but also rock stars: a garage band surrounded by the audience\, who in turn are enveloped by the music. \nChoreographer Mari Carrasco creates energetic and twisted worlds with a strong affinity for music. In Little Concert\, which has its world premiere during the Göteborg Opera Dance Festival in May 2025\, the music is created by composer Mikael Karlsson\, who has also composed the music for Alexander Ekman’s dance piece Hammer. \nThe piece will tour in Region Västra Götaland

SUMMARY:Sophie Laplane's and James Bonas' "Mary\, Queen of Scots" - Edinburgh International Festival
DESCRIPTION:For this one Michael P. Atkinson and I have composed the score together. \n\n\nRenaissance meets punk in Scottish Ballet’s retelling of the story of one of Scotland’s most famous women. \n\n\n\n\n\nTwo women. Two crowns. One story. \nAs her death approaches\, Elizabeth I of England is haunted by memories – both real and imagined – of her cousin and rival\, Mary\, Queen of Scots. Bound by blood yet divided by power\, their lives were a dangerous dance of ambition\, intrigue and betrayal. \nThe two queens’ fraught relationship is explored in this stunning world premiere from Scottish Ballet’s choreographer-in-residence Sophie Laplane and co-creator James Bonas. With striking designs by Soutra Gilmour (Sunset Boulevard) and a bold new score from the team behind the 2022 International Festival sensation Coppélia\, Mary\, Queen of Scots reimagines the story of one of Scotland’s most famous women. \nThis new production imagines a Renaissance where punk meets haute couture\, and where Mary and Elizabeth’s relationship inspires a rich\, resonant journey through memory\, history and myth. \nScottish Ballet  \nSophie Laplane Choreographer & Co-Creator\nJames Bonas Director & Co-Creator\nMikael Karlsson & Michael P Atkinson Original Score\nSoutra Gilmour Set & Costume Designer\nBonnie Beecher Lighting Designer\nAnouar Brissel Projection & Video Design \nThere will be a post-show talk on 16 Aug after the matinee performance.

SUMMARY:Grand Guignol (with Anna von Hausswolff\, Swedish Radio Symphony and Choir)\, Berwaldhallen\, Stockholm
DESCRIPTION:Participants\n\nOmer Meir Wellber\, conductor\nSwedish Radio Symphony Orchestra\nSwedish Radio Choir\n\n\n\nWorks\n\nMikael Karlsson & Anna von Hausswolff: Grand Guignol 42 min (final orchestration by Michael P. Atkinson)\nClaude Debussy: Nocturnes 25 min\nAlexander Skriabin: Poème de l’extase\, Op. 54 22 min\n\nGrand Guignol is based on a type of theatre that was born at the Théâtre du Grand Guignol in the Pigalle district of Paris in the 19th century. The primary function of these innovative and popular plays was to make the audience sensuously awaken from the mundaneness of everyday life and experience shocking\, frightening\, seductive\, carnal and hypnotic stories that were not accepted in the high culture of the time. \nAnna von Hausswolff and Mikael Karlsson have composed a piece for the Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Radio Choir that celebrates the uplifting powers of darkness and that\, in the Grand Guignol tradition\, embraces stories and sounds that call us to places we reflexively flee from. There\, in the borderland between physical\, ritual music and the tickling allure of the darkest stories\, we encounter Grand Guignol. \nThe piece uses pulsating intensity and alternating waves of calm and aggression to create a space through text\, music\, and electronics in surround where great emotions and sensual liberation are at the center and where the terrible and the beautiful are embraced on equal terms – an aesthetic that characterizes both composers’ previous music.
