OscarsborgOpera

OscarsborgOpera (Norwegian: OscarsborgOperaen) is a non-profit foundation that produces opera performances for performance in the courtyard of Oscarsborg Fortress during the summer, usually in August.

[1] The horseshoe-shaped and relatively small courtyard at Oscarsborg has good acoustics for an outdoor venue,[2] and performances can take place without microphones and electrically amplified sound.

[5] After a financially difficult time, OscarsborgOpera received state support from 2010,[5] and as a district opera has a fixed item in the state budget.

In addition, it receives support from Akershus County, Fron Municipality and some private operators.

Ticket sales account for 50% of the foundation's income.
