The doors shut precisely
The doors into the concert hall are opened well in advance so the audience may find their place in the hall. The doors will shut precisely. If you are late, you will, if possible, be allowed in at the first natural break.
Mobile phone
Please turn it off completely during the concert. Even if it is on silent, it may cause interference with electronic systems, audio induction loops, etc. Ringing phones will also interfere with concert recordings and NRK Radio broadcasts. It will disturb others around you.
Photographing and recordings
Photographing and recording is strictly prohibited during concerts. Press and media may contact the SSO Head of Communication, Cecilie Christ, at cecilie@sso.no or by phone at (+47) 400 08 281. This must be done well in advance.
The acoustics make each cough, beep from a phone and other sounds easily heard throughout the hall. It is therefore easy to negatively impact the experience for others.
