Valhalla | A Viking Rock Opera is a musical love story between two unlikely people from two different worlds, a Viking and a nun. They start out as enemies but are forced to work together as they undertake a perilous voyage, and in the process, discover both the bad and the good in each other’s societies. The story explores European history as well as Norse mythology, especially the idea of Valhalla, the Viking heaven for those who die in battle.

A central theme is finding common ground, peace, and even love in the face of conflict and war, which seems rather appropriate for our time. There’s a rich cast of characters, including Vikings, knights, and mythological beings such as Odin, Thor, and the Valkyries. The music, as the term rock opera suggests, is upbeat and fun. I call it symphonic metal, similar in style to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
