The story tells of the corrupt Rike-Per Kremmer ("Peter Monger the wealthy"), his adopted son, and a scary big troll; Murmartinstein, who knows the answers to all the questions in the world. The troll has captured a princess, who eventually will help the boy to defeat Rike-Per … and all ends happily.

Bergen National Opera, director Tom Guthrie and chorusmaster Håkon Matti Skrede will work with members of the prison community and its employees to build an "eventyr" opera based on folk music and songs. Three main soloists and members of the community will combine, with smaller additional roles and chorus. It will be accompanied by piano and hardanger fiddle.
