Sissel Receives Knighthood

Although it was originally announced back in October that the King of Norway had selected Sissel for knighthood in the St. Olav's Order, it wasn't until today that Sissel finally officially received the knighthood.

Her manager, Arne Svare, and her former manager Rune Larsen spoke. Arne said Sissel has only ever been mad one time in the 15 years he's been her manager, which occured while on a car tour in California when she hadn't eaten in a very long time.

Sissel sang for the full house at the ceremony at Hotel Bristol in Oslo, featuring "Innerst i sjelen," "Ave Marie," and she concluded with and was joined by the folks in the audience from Bergen in singing Bergen's song "Jeg tok min nystemte."
