OGNA SCENE
Read moreOgna Scene is a unique venue an hour by train or 40 minutes by car from Stavanger. It is a concert café where music, poetry, dance and fantasy are presented in various forms and formats. A retro, timeless and unique place. Slow down and live like a local. We like the intimate atmosphere with a few colored lights, small lanterns guinguette style, frames full of walls, old objects here and there arranged nonchalantly for the pleasure of the eyes. But what we appreciate the most of course, are the top concerts!
MÅNEFISKEN
Read moreIn Grünerløkka, under the Beierbrua bridge over Akerselva, this old red brick factory looks a bit like the Roubaix factory told by Zola, especially when it rains. Under a half-bike stuck halfway up the wall as a sign, you enter through the paved courtyard, passing along the water between two small falls. The huge interior space, with a few sofas draped under an open ceiling on two floors, is the setting for happenings, temporary exhibitions and cutting-edge concerts. Open during the summer, it is one of Grünerløkka's must-see places.
OSLO KONSERTHUS
Read moreClassical concert hall, dance and opera performances. Super easy online programming, go to "program" then click on the agenda tab. Remember to book well in advance, before you leave for example. All year long, this place located in Vika, in the city center, offers varied and quality concerts for all audiences, informed or not. A team of professionals, facilities and acoustics at the top. The venue also has a restaurant and café. Tickets on sale Monday to Friday from 11am to 2pm or on [email protected]
RIKSSCENEN
Read moreA multi-purpose live performance venue: world music, rock, pop, dance, classical music... there's something for everyone and at all times. An eclectic program that feels good! The price of the tickets varies according to the shows, but is generally around 250-300 NOK. We tested for you and we really liked the Finnish duo Vildà of polyphonic singing with accordion and drums! The acoustics are great and the team very friendly. Several stages, including an intimate one where you sit around tables with a drink, really nice!
GLASSHEIM ROCK & KULTURSCENE
Read moreThis former glass factory is now an internationally known concert hall. It regularly hosts artists from all over the world, such as Eric Singer Project, Manfred Manns Earth Band, Georgia Satelittes, Doro, Paul Di Anno, Nazareth, W.A.S.P., Slade, TNT and PLUMBO. This is the most active rock scene in Norway, which is saying a lot! They received the Jevnaker Culture Award in 2009. Of course, you can have a drink here.
CINÉMA (LILLEHAMMER KINO)
Read moreSeveral theaters showing both Norwegian and foreign films. Tickets can be booked online or from the cinema's eponymous app. Also automatic kiosks in front of the cinema and real people. It's quite nice to go to a foreign cinema, as it's a change from other visits and allows you to see a film in VO, as well as seeing the locals! The cinema doors open 30 minutes before the screening.
BERGEN KINO - KONSERTPALEET
Read moreWe don't often think about going to the movies in a foreign country, but it's a nice activity that allows you to change from visiting museums and to see the local population up close without looking like a tourist. A tip: buy your tickets online and do like all Norwegians: reserve your seats! This cinema is located in the heart of Bergen and offers a variety of films for all audiences. The plus: everything is in V.O., we love it!
FRAM KINO - CINÉMA
Read more6 to 9 rooms in this modern complex, at the entrance of the glass gallery.
