Fiestas populares en Noruega

Las festividades en Noruega tienen una fuerte tradición. Muchas de ellas están relacionadas con los fenómenos naturales del país, los deportes de invierno o la música. Algunas como el Festival de la aurora boreal son citas imprescindibles que sólo se pueden vivir en determinadas zonas del país y cuando el tiempo acompaña.

Los noruegos son personas muy deportistas, por lo que es frecuente que en muchos de sus días festivos organicen actividades en la montaña o maratones.

Oslo Chamber Music Festival

Oslo Chamber Music Festival

In mid-August, some of the best world-class musicians gather in the capital of Norway. The idea is to extend their music to a somewhat broader audience, as much of the music is classical. Many of the performances are on the street, in public places, theaters or other buildings in the city.
