Oslo, Norway

Classical Concert at the Aula

Attend a Concert by Norway’s Leading Musicians View Edvard Munch’s famed murals and experience classical Norwegian music in a historic setting. The University of Oslo’s ceremonial hall was built in 1911 and houses some of Edvard Munch’s most iconic murals — The Sun, The History and Alma Mater . Viking’s expedition ships, with special permission from the university, pay tribute to the Aula by echoing its unique design and artwork. Enjoy a performance of classical masterpieces rendered by talented Norwegian musicians, accompanied by folk dancers in traditional bunads —national costumes that are considered an iconic expression of Norwegian cultural identity. Hear Henrik Ibsen’s timeless tale Peer Gynt come to life through the evocative melodies of Edvard Grieg. During the brief intermission, sample kransekake, a traditional Norwegian almond cake. Afterward, you may explore Oslo independently or return to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
