On Monday, Lasse Kronér takes the stage when the new sing-along concept "Lasse at the Castle" premieres. The nerves have made themselves known ahead of the evening.

I've already sneaked a peek with Lotta a bit and checked how many songs she had when she did Liseberg.

The performances take place at Tjolöholms Castle, outside Kungsbacka, and will largely consist of improvisation from Kronér's side.

It's based on the audience that's there wishing for songs, so there's no finished script, he says and continues:

I love this kind of thing, but it also means you get a bit of a stomach ache because you're completely unprepared. Neither I nor the audience knows what's going to happen.

The stage will also be visited by guests making their own performances. Kronér himself has chosen the guest artists, and some are still secret.

Said No

The interest in "Lasse at the Castle" has been great, but Kronér doesn't feel the need to take up space on TV with the sing-along just yet.

I was asked to do TV, but said no. I'm not interested in doing TV out of this, but in doing a good show first, he says and continues:

When Lotta Engberg did Liseberg, she held sing-alongs for six years before it became TV. At Skansen, they did it for 43 years before it was broadcast on TV.

Fell Ill

During Bingo Lottery's Midsummer broadcast, Lasse Kronér was supposed to lead the sing-along with the audience, but after falling ill, he was forced to cancel – for the first time in his career.

I think it was covid. It's not often you get that sick, with a 40-degree fever. I just pulled the blanket over my head and then slept the whole Midsummer.

Have you managed to get well now?

Yes, the recovery has been going well. It feels nice ahead of the premiere.
