Our Picks
33The Reykjavík Grapevine
Issue 19 — 2017

Iceland Opera: Tosca
21, 28 Oct., 5, 11 Nov., 20:00, Harpa
Torture. Love.
Suicide. Catholics.
Passion. Yes—Puc-
cini’s masterpiece
‘Tosca’ is coming
to Iceland. With
the spectacular
Claire Rutter
as Floria Tosca,
Kristján Jóhanns-
son as Mario
Cavaradossi, and
Ólafur Kjartan
Sigurðarson as
Baron Scarpia, the
Icelandic Opera
promises a show
that’ll leave no dry
eye in the audi-
ence. Never heard
of it? Well, the
heart-wrenching
melodrama
revolves around
a volatile diva, a
sadistic police of-
ficer chief, and an
idealistic artist—
basically a Holly-
wood blockbuster
with less space
battles are more
vibrato. For real
though, ‘Tosca’ is
one of the most
emotional and
dramatic works
ever composed.
Stop by, laugh, cry,
despair, celebrate,
mourn and we
guarantee that
the next time
you pray, you’ll
be attempting
that famous ‘Vissi
d’arte’ A-flat. HJC

Rise Against
23 Oct., 20:00,
Harpa, 9.990 ISK
Pray for the
refugee and a
savior—Rise
Against is
playing Harpa.
Also there?
Local hardcore
heartthrobs Une
Misére. HJC

HATARI / CYBER
28 Oct., 21:00,
Húrra, 1.500 ISK
Watch the
spiritual
intercourse of
industrial weirdos
Hatari and rap
weirdos Cyber.
It’ll be, uh, weird,
like, weirdly un-
forgettable. HJC

Ásta Fanney
28 October, 21:30, Mengi, 2.000 ISK
Ásta Fanney is
best-known as
the singer of
aYia, but she’s a
poet, artist and
general imagina-
tive everything-
ist, too. She’ll
steal the stage of
Mengi for a solo
performance
on October
28—expect to
be taken on a
walk through
Ásta’s dreams
to some strange
and unexpected
places. JR

ZHdK Strings & Ísak Ríkharðsson
28 October, 19:30, Harpa 2.500 ISK
Ísak Ríkharðsson
returns from his
studies in Swit-
zerland as part
of the acclaimed
ZHdK Strings—an
international
string ensemble
consisting of 20
students of the
Zürich University
of the Arts, led
by Prof. Rudolf
Koelman. They’ll
play their favou-
rite bangers by
Mozart, Debussy,
Ravel, Jón Leifs
and Grieg. JR
