Lørdagskonsert: Basso Mania! at Den Norske Opera & Ballett

In this series of chamber music concerts, the audience will encounter members of the orchestra in a format that differs from the familiar orchestral pit. On four weekends this season the orchestra performs in smaller groups, giving audiences an opportunity to get closer to the musicians.

The Saturday afternoon concerts represent the Norwegian National Opera Orchestra's own chamber music series, with the musicians performing their favourite music.
THE NORWEGIAN NATIONAL OPERA ORCHESTRA AFTERNOON CONCERTS: BASS MANIA!

All of the orchestra's double-bassists come together for a programme encompassing 19th century composer Giovanni Bottesini, a brand new work by Håkon Thelin and everything in between.

NB: More detailed information will be added here later.
