Northern Lights is a 2007 live album and DVD released in the US by Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø.
The CD and DVD is a live recording of a concert at Bergstadens Ziir ("Jewel of the mountain town" in German), a church from the 17th century in Røros, Norway (a 17th-century Germany mining town). It was inspired by Norway's winter, the Blue Hour, and the mystical Northern Lights.[1]
The music were arranged by Kjetil Bjerkestrand and the musicians sharing the stage with Sissel were the Trondheim Soloists, the Nidaros Cathedral Girls Choir, and Sissel's own band.[2] The concert featured the tenor José Carreras,[3] which performed the Julio Iglesias/Dolly Parton-duet "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" with Sissel.
Northern Lights reached #10 in the Billboard Classical Crossover album list.[4]
