Trolle og den magiske fela (Trolle and the magical violin) is the fifth studio album and the first Norwegian-language album by the Belarusian-Norwegian artist Alexander Rybak, released on 2 November 2015, alongside the eponymous children's book. An eponymous musical was staged in Kristiansand in 2019.

Background[]

Rybak had been wanting to write a musical for a long time.[1] The children's book was released in November 2015, alongside an album with songs that added to the storyline.[2]

Rybak wrote all the melodies by himself, except for the melody of "Stjerner vår", which he took from a composition by his father Igor Rybak.[citation needed]

Critical reception[]

Trolle og den magiske fela was met with favourable reviews in Norway. Dagbladet gave it a 5 on the dice, while Aftenposten wrote that it was "a superb new adventure story that together with the music becomes a great cultural experience. The author calls the book partly autobiographical, but many children may recognize themselves in little Trolle".[3]
