The Johannesénske Balletselskab returns to Norway In March 1878 the Johannesénske Balletselskab travelled over the mountains from Östersund in Sweden to the Norwegian city of Trondheim
When the family settled in Kristiania in November 1879, they had given 105 performances
Summary
From March 1878 to October 1879, the Johannesénske Balletselskab toured in Norway and thereby gave people in 16 smaller and peripheral towns the opportunity to see ballet for the first time. The Johannesénske Balletselskab was used to travelling: in various shapes and forms, this ensemble had been on the road for almost thirty years. During their travelling, Norwegian newspapers were highly supportive of their performances and the article discusses how life on the road was made easier through the support of the press. Målet med denne artikkelen er å analysere noen få av de utfordringene det Johannesénske Balletselskab møtte på sin norske turne. Artikkelen diskuterer også den gode avisdekningen som ensemblet fikk i lys av datidens dansemiljø, og viser hvordan det omreisende livet ble gjort litt lettere ved hjelp av avisenes støtte
