The only reference I have got from Odd Nordstuga is that he has been acting in Trollflöjten opera, The magic flute, famous opera from Mozart, but in Nordic version, with music composed by Harv. His role there was Fuglefanten (Papagen), he also plays some instruments there and he was one of the best actors on stage.

Opera premiere was In Norway last year and they have also been performing in Sweden this year.

I was actually looking for some other musical references from Odd Nordstuga so thanks for them.

David.

Odd Nordstoga is kind of all over the place, musically. I have not
heard his stuff in the last 2 years or so, so I can't speak to what
he's currently up to.

I liked him best in a more folky mode, especially the work he has
done with singer and harpsist Oyonn Groven Myhren. They worked for a
while (maybe they still do) as a simple duo... no extra musicians)
and it was really effective.
