Live at the Opera is the first live album by the Norwegian black metal band Satyricon, originally released in 2015 under the Austrian label Napalm Records. [1]

It consists of a digipak with two CD and one bonus DVD on limited edition, both with the same songs. Additionally, the album was released in a special edition of three vinyl records.

Basically it contains the most tracks from the album Satyricon (2013) and a compilation of some of the best known Satyricon songs from previous albums.

Background

In February 2015, the frontman Satyr explained how the concept (new label, new DVD) came together: “The whole thing started with us doing one song, 'To The Mountains' a year and a half before the actual show. We performed at a closed event in the main hall of the opera with the Chorus of the Norwegian Opera & Ballet (Den Norske Opera & Ballett Operakoret). It was very inspirational. I then said to the conductor that I would love to do a whole show like this. He loved the idea, I was serious about it, and he was serious about it.” [2]

Live at the Opera comes from a nearly two-hour special live performance, which was shot and edited on DVD. The exclusive show was held on September 8, 2013 at the Oslo Opera House (Operahuset) in Norway, as part of the Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival held annually. [3]

It presents the outstanding participation of 55 singers from the Chorus of the Norwegian Opera & Ballet (Operakoret). [4] [5]

The album peaked at #26 on the Norwegian charts VG-lista [6] and peaked at #56 in German charts. [7] [8]
