L'Histoire du festival

Since the first Bergen Festival in June 1953, the object of the Festival has been to organize artistic events at the highest national and international level. The Festival programs are designed to present the best of Norwegian and international creative art, first and foremost in the field of music, but also including top-level theatre, ballet, opera, folklore and visual arts.

The Festival aims to be the principal Norwegian event of its kind, with international appeal. Great names have topped the bill since the beginning, including Kirsten Flagstad, Leopold Stokowski, Sir Thomas Beecham and Jussi Bjorling, to name but a few of the many illustrious artists that have taken part in Norway's major festival.

Nordic Impulses is the signature of the Bergen International Festival. The festival aims to present artistic expression from the Nordic countries, and to become the foremost meeting place for creative and performing artists from this part of the world. Rather than seeking a common identity, we are looking for diversity and differences. The concept of impulses involves initiating performances that otherwise would not have taken place. Our own productions demonstrate that the festival is not only a recipient, but also an important contributor in the international landscape of festivals.

Programs range from intimate recitals to chamber and orchestral concerts, together with dance, opera and theatre.

Bergen was the home town of Edvard Grieg and of the Romantic violin virtuoso Ole Bull. Recitals and concerts in the homes of these two 19th-century artists have proved extremely popular with audiences. Performers at these intimate arrangements are, first and foremost, talented young Norwegian artists, the bulk of their programs constitute music by Grieg and Bull.

Beautifully located at the fjord and surrounded by mountains, Bergen in springtime is the perfect place for an arts festival, with venues ranging from the 700-year-old Gothic Hßkonshall for recitals and chamber music to the acoustically perfect Grieg Hall with 1500 seats for orchestral concerts as well as opera and dance. Performances at the national theatre in Bergen at which Henrik Ibsen was once artistic director and the more than 200-year-old Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, closely associated with the name of Edvard Grieg, are a regular feature at the Festival.
