Operaen i Nord-Norge (OINN) replaced the earlier Operakomiteen i Narvik, under the leadership of a local politician Ellen Annexstad Trolie (Ap) in 1991. One of the abitious projects initiated by OINN was Chess in Concert, which was an artistic success, but a financial disaster.
Den Norske Opera provided the conductor, solists, producer, stage director and all stage technicians, as well as lighting, cosumes and stage props.
