Stop Time - Sondre Lerche & Operaen
In January of 2025, Sondre Lerche and his 52-piece ensemble performed a truly extraordinary show at the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet. The career-spanning concert was divided into two chronological acts and was performed to two sold-out audiences, in what became a dizzying musical and visual marathon both on stage and behind the scenes. For the many fans around the world who couldn’t get a seat at the Opera House in January—and for all who were there and wish to relive the magic—Sondre Lerche and ONZONZ now present Stop Time, a full-length concert film that captures the feeling of being there.
