Bergen National Opera

A word about this company

"Since Mary Miller took over the helm of BNO four years ago, the company has developed a well-deserved reputation for its world-class productions." Susan Nickalls, Classical Music Magazine. Bergen National Opera, firmly rooted in West Coast Norway, is now established as a major contributor to world-class opera produced nationally. As a flexible and adventurous company working with highly imaginative creative teams, we bring fresh eyes and ears to standard repertoire and present great operas as yet unknown to Norway along with a startling range of new projects for all ages. Our casts combine dynamic young Nordic voices with celebrated international talents, and we are deeply committed to developing competence in all aspects of opera for the future. With the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra as our principal partner, BNO is increasingly attracting positive media attention, and kudos for its exciting programmes.
