Throughout his career, Haugland has primarily focused on works for music theatre and electro-acoustic compositions. Experimentation through performance art, music drama and music theatre for children have also been key components of Haugland’s compositional output.[1]

Haugland’s list of works encompasses more than 100 works, including ten operas. In partnership with Heidi Tronsmo and Ståle Tråsdahl, Haugland founded the music theatre ensemble Opera Omnia in 1990. Following more than 30 music theatre productions, Opera Omnia premiered operas PoY! and Hulda og Garborg in 2000/2001. The children’s opera PoY! has seen more than 130 performances throughout Europe, while his chamber opera Hulda og Garborg has been performed a number of times domestically.[2]

Haugland has composed commissioned works for ensembles and orchestras including the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Bergen Domkantori, Raschér Saxofon Quartet, SISU, Den Nationale Scene and Agder Theatre.[3]

2004 saw Haugland being nominated for the Nordic Council Music Prize for his chamber opera Hulda og Garborg. In 2007, Haugland was bestowed with the Fartein Valen scholarship. Haugland has also written major orchestral works over the last decade, including 2007’s Rebekka premiered at the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet. Other key Haugland works include sound installations Grøne Sjøar og Blått blod, Byen and the music theatre work Gospel of Judas.[4]
