Information for participating singers in Mozart’s Requiem

It is almost time for the Oslo Philharmonic’s very first sing-along. We look forward to welcoming all participating singers for a day with Simon Halsey, the Oslo Philharmonic Choir, and a choir from Edvard Munch VGS. Here is some practical information for the day.

Arrival and Access

All participating singers should enter through the public entrance of Oslo Concert Hall, which is on the same level as Vika Kino. The doors open at 11:00, and the rehearsal will start promptly at 12:00. This means you should be warmed up and ready to sing in the Main Hall before 12:00.

Upon arrival, we will scan tickets and distribute wristbands, so please allow plenty of time before the rehearsal begins. Paid parking is available near the Concert Hall, but we recommend using public transport.

Bring along

A filled water bottle (water stations are available in the Concert Hall)
Your own sheet music. Please note that all participating singers to use the Bärenreiter edition of the Requiem in the Süssmayr version.

Practical Information

Only water is allowed in the Main Hall (no food, coffee, or similar).
The Concert Hall kiosk opens at 14:30. Drinks and snacks can be purchased there, but meals must either be brought from home or bought nearby.
There is no formal dress code, but we encourage wearing smart casual attire.

We look forward to seeing and hearing you!
