OscarsborgOpera () is a non-profit foundation that produces opera performances for performance in the courtyard of Oscarsborg Fortress during the summer, usually in August.
The horseshoe-shaped and relatively small courtyard at Oscarsborg has good acoustics for an outdoor venue, and performances can take place without microphones and electrically amplified sound.
History Oslofjord Opera Festival was founded in 1998 with general manager / opera director Anne Felberg as one of four initiators. In 2007 the name was changed to OscarsborgOpera.
After a financially difficult time, OscarsborgOpera received state support from 2010, and as a district opera has a fixed item in the state budget. In addition, it receives support from Akershus County, Frogn Municipality, and some private operators. Ticket sales account for 50% of the foundation's income.
