Last spring she appeared in the concert version of &#8220;Kristina from Duvemala&#8221; at Royal Albert Hall in London. And at home followed &#8220;A Touche of Taube&#8221; at the Gothenburg Opera. Then she would have time to work on her new album &#8220;Euforia&#8221;, with Swedish interpretations of Billy Joel.<\/p>\n<p>Then came an irresistible offer up &#8211; the role of the hardworking mother Karen in the literary classic &#8220;Simon and the oaks.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; I was thrilled when I was offered the role. there was no hesitation, she says. The fact that her character was totally unmusical not deterred.<br \/>\n&#8211; It was nice not having to sing. I think it\u00b4s invigorating to feel that you can stand on stage without singing, she says.<\/p>\n<p>An exhausting year Now, however, the CD is recorded and almost half of the performances in &#8220;Aniara&#8221; is completed. This means that Helen Sj\u00f6holm now can see the end of an exhausting year. Remaining is only one upcoming winter tour.<br \/>\n&#8211; 2010 has been an exceptional year with a lot of jobs. Currently I am planning a sabbatical, she says. But there is one thing that could get her to think again &#8211; a new offer to play with his friend and fellow artist Benny Andersson.<br \/>\n&#8211; I have heard that he was writing again, so it would not surprise me if BAO went into the studio soon. Working with them is not a job, we&#8217;re a happy family.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Various 2010\" href=\"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/press-clips\/various-2010\/\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expressen 101112 By: RIKARD LJUNGQVIST Energy is about to end.
