Christmas spirit with Lise Davidsen
One of the greatest opera stars of our time, the Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen, announces her biggest concerts in Norway: among them, Oslo Spektrum on December 5, 2026! She will be joined by a number of esteemed collaborators: the Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra, Grete Pedersen, the Young Soloists' Choir, and Leif Ove Andsnes, performing well-known Christmas classics. Lise Davidsen, often referred to as the “voice of the century,” has quickly established herself as a dominant force on the world's largest opera stages. She is a regular guest at the premier opera houses in Europe and has received exceptional responses from both audiences and critics. – It is wonderful to have a Christmas concert in Spektrum, and I am very excited. Christmas music with Grete, KORK, and the Young Soloists' Choir can be really great, I believe. Christmas is a lovely time to go to a concert, and I hope many will come and get into the holiday spirit with us , says Lise Davidsen. The breakthrough came in 2015 when she won the top prizes at Operalia, the Queen Sonja Competition, and the Hans Gabor Belvedere Competition. Since then, she has had triumphant debuts at the world's leading opera houses and festivals, which invite her back again and again. Among the highlights are BBC Proms, Salzburg Easter Festival, her Carnegie Hall debut, and the prestigious Summer Night Concert in Vienna in front of over 100,000 audience members. Her solo concert at the Metropolitan Opera was sold out. – Lise Davidsen has a voice like no other. This will be the first time a Norwegian opera singer presents her own performance at Oslo Spektrum and DNB Arena, which makes this extra special. We are incredibly proud to present two great evenings with a true global star , says organizer Tim Salvesen of FKP Scorpio.
