Celebrating their 100th anniversary, Hydro invites the people of Oslo to Hydro’s Centennial Festival in Frognerparken on Saturday, August 27. This is a big event, and a-ha will be the main attraction. This is the only a-ha concert in Norway before their European Tour, and the first time people will have a chance to hear new material from the forthcoming album. Other features at the festival include the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra playing Howard Shore’s music from the film Lord of the Rings , with Sissel Kyrkjebx as soloist. [
Johnny Depp isn’t the only swashbuckling adventurer coming our way this year as Lord Of The Rings star Viggo Mortensen has left Middle Earth in favour of a life on the high seas. And King Aragorn had no trouble finding his sea legs when he got to work on the historical epic Alatriste in which he plays a heroic Spanish soldier.
