About this event
The Oslo Philharmonic's eighth free concert on the slope in front of the Royal Palace, conducted by Giedrė Šlekytė with soprano Kathleen O'Mara and violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing, hosted by Adelina Ibishi and Tarjei Strøm. Seventy minutes, tens of thousands on the grass, produced with NRK and the Royal Court. Seating is limited, so Oslo brings its own chairs and its own rainwear.
