What could be better than sitting back and unwinding on the last weekend before Christmas, as bossa-inspired rhythms ease you into the holiday spirit? Frode Kjekstad is an internationally acclaimed jazz guitarist who performs at venues in Norway and abroad. Arild Jensen is Hallingdal’s very own guitar hero. In recent years, he has often worked behind the scenes as a composer and arranger—but tonight, we’ll hear him take centre stage as a solo artist. And who knows—perhaps the farm girl from the barn will join us to sing a few songs? https://www.operalaven.com/concerts-and-performances/opera-christmas monthly 0.5 2026-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/662f8153d539c0584f902e62/cd9f852d-5f5d-40f7-abf2-1881b9f4fad7/Operajul+KI.jpg Concerts and performances - Opera Christmas! - Forget solemn reverence and pompous opera—this is festive chaos at its finest! Are you ready for a Christmas concert like no other? .“Opera Christmas” takes some of opera’s best-loved arias and gives them a generous, humorous Norwegian makeover. Epic dramas make way for familiar, outrageous characters we all encounter in the Christmas rush: a stressed-out Christmas elf who’s had more than enough of the pressure to buy presents; a delightfully snobbish lady from Blommenholm who demands a perfect Christmas; a self-satisfied Santa Claus—and what on earth has happened to Rudolph this year?! Expect outstanding vocal performances and plenty of laughs. Bring your friends, family or neighbours, and book your tickets for what is sure to be the funniest Christmas concert of the year. You’ve never heard “O mio babbino caro”, the “Flower Duet” or “La donna è mobile” quite like this!

While the landscape outside lies dark and still, we gather in the warmth of the old cowshed to enjoy some of the finest moments from opera and operetta. The singers will perform three sets throughout the evening. Between sets, there’ll be time to chat and enjoy a drink. Bartender Espen opens the doors at 7 pm, and the singers will take to the stage as the evening unfolds. Join us for a lovely evening with friends, neighbours and wonderful singers!

An unhappy king has banned singing and music in his kingdom. The people have lived without melodies for so long that they have forgotten what music is.

The bottles contain all kinds of music: rhythmic music, musical theatre, pop and classical music—even opera! The performance lasts approximately 40 minutes, with no interval. Best suited to children aged three and up. Cast: Silvia Moi, Benedicte Sofie Ribe and Nils Harald Sødal.

Frode Kjekstad er ein internasjonalt kjend jazzgitarist, som spelar på scener i inn- og utland. Arild Jensen er Hallingdal sin eigen gitarhelt, som dei seinare åra ofte har stått i bakgrunnen som komponist eller arrangør - men denne kvelden er det soloartisten me får høyre.
