Northern Lights is a 2007 live album and DVD released in the US by Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø.
The CD and DVD is a live recording of a concert at Bergstadens Ziir ("Jewel of the mountain town" in German), a church from the 17th century in Røros, Norway (a 17th-century Germany mining town). It was inspired by Norway's winter, the Blue Hour, and the mystical Northern Lights.
The music was arranged by Kjetil Bjerkestrand. The musicians sharing the stage with Sissel were the Trondheim Soloists, the Nidaros Cathedral Girls Choir, and Sissel's own band. The concert featured the tenor José Carreras, which performed the Julio Iglesias/Dolly Parton-duet "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" with Sissel.
Northern Lights reached #10 in the Billboard Classical Crossover album list.
