After having triumphed as Lisa in The Queen of Spades, the soprano Lise Davidsen offers here a program of arias and songs which made her known throughout the world : Tannhäser by Wagner, Ariadne auf Naxos by Strauss and Manon Lescaut by Puccini , as well as Scandinavian songs by Sibelius and Grieg. She gives this recital from the picturesque Oscarshall in Oslo, where she performed after her victory in the Queen Sonja competition in her native Norway.
