Romania cooperation

The concert in Romania is on Friday 25 June in Timisoara Cathedral in collaboration with Timisoara "Banatul" Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra and is part of Timisoara "Banatul" Philharmonic's program as the season's closing concert.

Timisoara is Romania's third largest city and is located in the west of the country, in the Banat region bordering Serbia and Hungary. This region has historically belonged to various states - Hungary, Germany, Turkey and Romania. The population of Timisoara consists of several nationalities, including Germans, Hungarians and Romanians. The members of the Timisoara Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra are fairly evenly distributed among the aforementioned peoples.

The concerts in Romania and Hungary are part of a five-year collaboration between Timisoara Philharmoni and the opera community in Bergen for the period 2001 to 2005. Timisoara Philharmonic Orchestra has previously visited Bergen at Western Norway Opera's summer opera productions "Carmen" (2001), "Carmina Burana" and " Cavalleria Rusticana ”(2003).

Timisoara Philharmonic Choir visited Bergen in 2003 and participated in "Carmina Burana" and "Cavalleria Rusticana" outdoors at Bergenhus Fortress. The artistic director of the Bergen Opera Choir, Anne Randine Øverby, has every year in the same period visited the Timisoara Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir as conductor, most recently in 2003 with "Carmina Burana". Timisoara Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir and will collaborate with Bergen on opera in 2005.

The multi-year Romanian-Norwegian collaboration has had and is of great importance to the Bergen opera community, our own cultural forces develop in the collaboration with international resources. Romania has far more professional choirs than in Norway, and for Bergen Opera Choir in particular, the collaboration with a professional choir provides an important basis for experience and a realistic view of professional performing singing activities. The collaboration between Bergen Opera Choir and Timisoara Philharmonic Choir in Bergen with "Carmina Burana" and "Cavalleria Rusticana" in 2003 was unique culturally, humanly and musically and the challenge intensified both volunteers and professionals.

The concert in Hungary is on Sunday 27 June in the Patria Hall in the Budapest Congress Center. Bergen Opera Choir has been very lucky to have held a concert in the large concert hall with 1755 seats, and is collaborating with a Hungarian producer on the event. Hungarian television records the concert
