About the concert
Experience a spectacular opera evening under the open sky – with Norwegian opera stars, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and Oscarsborg Fortress as an unparalleled backdrop. In the summer of 2027 the courtyard of Oscarsborg Fortress is transformed into a mighty gladiator arena when OscarsborgOperaen presents Giacomo Puccini's Turandot. A dramatic story awaits, of power, passion, love and life-threatening choices. In director Mira Bartov's interpretation, Puccini's grand opera is given a raw and monumental setting, where the fortress's historic walls become part of the set design. On stage you will meet Elisabeth Teige, Kjetil Støa and Vera Talerko in the leading roles. The music is performed by the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (KORK), conducted by the internationally acclaimed conductor Ramón Tebar, who comes straight from a huge success at The Metropolitan Opera in NYC. With immortal melodies, among them the world-famous «Nessun dorma», Turandot offers some of the very greatest musical moments in the history of opera. Let the journey across the fjord be the start of an unforgettable summer evening! Feel free to make the experience complete with a boat trip from Oslo, a three-course dinner or an overnight stay at Oscarsborg. Welcome to Turandot at Oscarsborg in the summer of 2027!
