点评:We arrived in Oslo on December 22 and tried to get into the cathedral around 3:30 but were told that the cathedral was closing early. This was for a sing along event happening at 5:00 pm which we decided to come back for. In other European cities we've been to around Christmas they have had evensong and concerts but very few have been in attendance. At the Oslo Cathedral you needed tickets to attend this event, they were free and when we bought ours there were only 3 left. The church pews were divided into sections for singing styles - bass, soprano, alto and tenor. They had a small orchestra and a very professional conductor. We really enjoyed this hour long concert where the audience performed and there were some obvious professionals which provided a few performances as well. We even got to hear the organ get played. This added to our Christmas experience in Oslo for sure!
The cathedral itself is starting to show its age with paint peeling on both the ceiling and pews. There are some interesting and bright murals here. This all adds to the character of the cathedral with its daunting appearance from the outside and a warm interior. We spent a little over an hour here due to the concert but would say spending 15 minutes here would typically be more than enough. Check the hours before you go because they are limited and you can check out their website to see upcoming events like the sing along we attended.
The Cathedral is on Karl Johan's Gate and is a short walk from the Norwegian Parliament and the Oslo Central Station.
翻译:我们于 12 月 22 日抵达奥斯陆,并试图在 3:30 左右进入大教堂,但被告知大教堂提前关闭。这是为下午 5:00 举行的歌唱活动而设,我们决定回来参加。在圣诞节前后我们去过的其他欧洲城市,他们举行晚祷和音乐会,但参加的人很少。在奥斯陆大教堂,您需要门票才能参加此活动,门票是免费的,我们买的时候只剩下 3 张了。教堂的长椅根据歌唱风格分为几个部分 - 男低音、女高音、女低音和男高音。他们有一个小型管弦乐队和一个非常专业的指挥。我们真的很喜欢这场长达一小时的音乐会,观众们表演了,还有一些明显的专业人士也提供了一些表演。我们甚至听到了管风琴的演奏。这无疑为我们在奥斯陆的圣诞节体验增添了色彩!
大教堂本身开始显露出它的年龄,天花板和长椅上的油漆都剥落了。这里有一些有趣而明亮的壁画。这一切都为大教堂增添了特色,它外观令人生畏,内部却温馨。由于音乐会,我们在这里待了一个多小时,但我认为在这里待 15 分钟通常就足够了。出发前请先查看开放时间,因为开放时间有限,您可以查看他们的网站,了解即将举办的活动,例如我们参加的歌唱活动。
大教堂位于卡尔约翰门,距离挪威议会和奥斯陆中央火车站仅几步之遥。
