COLLABORATION WORKS OF THE TWO GREAT ARTISTS, ALEXANDER RYBAK AND DENNIS STORHØI - FROM 2007 UNTIL RECENTLY 
Alexander has told several times, he saw his friend, Jahn Dennis Storhøi actor (b. July 15, 1958, Fredrikstad, Norway) his artistic mentor.
Dennis Storhøi has had a long and diverse career to look back on, he is probably most known for “The 13th Warrior”, in which he played against superstar Antonio Banderas.
- The first case they shared the stage was in the world-famous musical "Fiddler on the roof" the Oslo Nye Theater in 2007. Dennis Storhøi played the role of Tevye, and Alexander the Fiddler, for which Alexander in the same year got the Hedda-prize (Category "Best Newcomer 2007"), the most prestigious award for the performing arts in Norway.
Here is a video of the epic song "If I Were A Rich Man" from the play they performed later, at the 60 years anniversary concert of Igor Rybak in 2014:Another video with photos from the original play:
Dennis told about Alexander in several interviews like in THIS one from 2009, mostly related to this theater play; here are some excerpts of that:
"Alexander dares to seek new challenges because he knows that he has plenty to learn. On the first rehearsals he had eyes like marbles, but as soon as he understood the code he learned incredibly quickly." "It is not difficult to see that he has something special. Every audience has its own energy, and real artists like Alexander redeem that energy. That is what makes him so incredibly powerful on stage. When he also makes his own music and performs it so pure of heart, you don’t need a special clairvoyance to see that he will go far!" "Of course it’s a huge compliment to be called a mentor for such a talented artist. I think I can help by pointing out what could go wrong, and I think that is valuable to him."
- In 2011, Alexander toured with Christmas concerts with Dennis and the singer Anne Vada through Norway, on the concert tour called "Vinterbilder" (Winter Pictures).
Here is a great performance of the three, a "Christmas medley":
