As we know, already at the beginning of his musical career, in between all of his engagements, Alexander was wandering, while playing for food and lodging in some of the valleys and islands of Norway like Giske municipality.

HERE, you can read about that he was also traveling in Valdres area earlier.
But as far as I know, there was no article about that (re-)found yet.

Perhaps the best I've seen at Kilden this year - a review on unikumnett.no, 29.11.2019

Perhaps the best I've seen at Kilden this year

- The premiere of the musical from the book by Alexander Rybak -

Briefly summarized: watch this one.

This is some of the best I've seen at Kilden this year. Who would have thought that a children's show that lasted almost three hours would make me say "wow" loudly when the wolf came out, clap several times along the way, get enchanted and cheer loudly? They have managed to create a magical universe at all levels. The scenography, lighting and costume were almost worth the ticket alone. The music was catchy and versatile. Clearly with references to fairy tales and Norwegian folk music, mixed with a scary undertone. I got associations for the "Anastasia" movie of the 90s, with scary but catchy songs, and a humorous and nasty villain.

Good atmosphere and high tempo in Rybak's magic world - a review of Alexander Rybak's Trolle musical on nrk.no, 29.11.2019

Good atmosphere and high tempo in Rybak's magic world

Alexander Rybak's musical "Trolle and the Magic Fiddle" is a rock opera for children. It tries a lot, achieves a good part of it, and delivers full thrust on the show.

The magic fiddle is such that everyone who hears must obey. 

The Hulder King (Stig-Werner Moe) uses it to lure new wives when he needs it.
