OUR OPERAPUB CONCEPT
This is an informal night out for opera lovers and a chance to hear emerging talents in a relaxed atmosphere: The singers are amateurs, students, chorus members and also visiting soloists to BNO and Bergen. In addition to opera you may hear a hit from a musical, folk songs – and also freshly made music performed for the first time

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Free entry, and no ticket is needed.

There's a run through with our pianist in the venue before the concert starts, normally half an hour earlier.

Please note that this is an acoustic concert, with no sound mixer available for singers or instruments – only a single microphone for the introductions.
