The Norwegian National Opera Orchestra serves as the powerhouse behind Norway's flagship operatic institution, based in Oslo's striking modernist Opera House opened in 2008. As the resident ensemble for the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet, they bring fiery intensity to Wagnerian epics like *Der fliegende Holländer* (evident in their recent spins on the haunting "Spinning Chorus" and Senta's dramatic ballad) while also championing Nordic works through releases like *Norwegian Opera Overtures*. Their versatility shines in everything from Mozart's sparkling overtures to collaborations with sopranos like Marita Sølberg, whose album *Sempre Libera* showcases their ability to support vocal virtuosity. Whether storming through Romantic dramas or finessing bel canto elegance, this orchestra remains a cornerstone of Norway's classical scene, blending technical precision with the storytelling flair demanded by grand theatrical productions.
