Dazzling Norwegian world soprano Lise Davidsen performs a pearl ribbon of Christmas carols together with the Gothenburg Symphony and Gothenburg Symphony Choir under the direction of Christian Eggen. Come into the warmth and listen to classics such as O, holy night, Ave Maria and many more.  

Lise Davidsen’s big breakthrough came in 2015 with several first prizes in prestigious opera competitions and since then she has been hotly sought after by the world’s major opera houses. She has been called a new Birgit Nilsson and rewritten as one of the greatest singing talents in decades with her boundless vocal range. In 2019, she made her debut at The Metropolitan Opera in Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades. In 2021, she was named Opera Singer of the Year at the International Opera Award. 

Now Lise Davidsen visits Gothenburg for the first time and she’s bringing a brand new album, “Christmas from Norway”. She offers both Christmas classics and personal stories; from the memomory her first solo performance as a child with norwegian song En stjerne skiner i natt, to experiences from the world’s leading opera stages. 

In addition, we are swept into a musical snowscape when the Symphony and the Gothenburg Symphony Choir perform Stenhammar’s magnificent Midwinter for choir and orchestra.

Thanks to a generous support from the Stena Foundation, we get to experience Lise Davidsen in this concert.
