OscarsborgOpera

OscarsborgOpera (Norwegian: OscarsborgOperaen) is a non-profit foundation that produces opera performances for performance in the courtyard of Oscarsborg Fortress during the summer, usually in August.[1]

The horseshoe-shaped and relatively small courtyard at Oscarsborg has good acoustics for an outdoor venue,[2] and performances can take place without microphones and electrically amplified sound.[3]

History

Oslofjord Opera Festival was founded in 1998 with general manager / opera director Anne Felberg as one of four initiators.[1][4][5] In 2007 the name was changed to OscarsborgOpera.[5]

After a financially difficult time, OscarsborgOpera received state support from 2010,[5] and as a district opera has a fixed item in the state budget. In addition, it receives support from Akershus County, Fron Municipality and some private operators. Ticket sales account for 50% of the foundation's income.[1]
