Program notes
International opera star Lise Davidsen returns to her home country of Norway for a concert brimming over with Christmas spirit, conducted by Christian Eggen. Davidsen performs a cornucopia of Christmas music including classical melodies like Bach’s “Ave Maria” and yuletide favorites like “Silent Night,” as well as traditional Scandinavian songs. She is joined by the Norwegian Soloists’ Choir Academy and the Norwegian Operas’ Children’s Chorus, with musical accompaniment by the Norwegian Radio Orchestra. Davidsen’s soaring soprano, one of the most acclaimed voices of our day, resounds powerfully all year long on the world’s greatest stages, but this special concert in Oslo is a true Christmas gift for the ears.
