Young Arena

Welcome to the Oslo Philharmonic’s Young Arena. The aim of Young Arena is to make the music and activities of the Oslo Philharmonic accessible to as wide an audience as possible.

Patty and the Wolf

Two of Norway’s most talented female artists present the story of Peter and the wolf with an urban touch. Similar to our cooperation with the Nordic Black Theatre, Romeo and Juliet 2010, this production is also based on the popular music of Sergei Prokofiev. While Prokofiev’s beautiful music remains untouched, the well known story has been moved from Russia to Ethiopia.
