The Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera (TSO) provides musical experiences and is a powerhouse of the central Norwegian cultural landscape, providing a broad range of music of the highest artistic quality. In this way, the TSO contributes to the promotion and development of general interest in music locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
The Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera currently consists of 86 permanent musicians. In addition to classical symphony concerts, it holds a wide range of performances and services, including opera, contemporary music, premieres, early music, chamber music, popular concerts, educational activities and talent development, as well as projects for children and youths.
TSO is proudly based in the superb Olavshallen Concert Hall in Trondheim, where most of its concerts are held throughout the season. In addition, concert tours in and around central Norway are frequent, as well as nationwide and international tours and assignments. Collaboration with the Trondheim Soloists means that the orchestra model has access to 90 musicians. TSO also collaborates with the Trondheim Vocal Ensemble, primarily with opera and choral works, as well as the Trondheim Symphony Opera Choir (TSO-koret), which is naturally an integral part of its opera productions.
