"Sissel" is the Norwegian derivative of the English name "Cecilia" It is a rare and unusual name, commonly found in Denmark and Norway, where it is cherished for its traditional roots. The name is sometimes associated with notable figures in music and arts. Its connection to nature and strength makes it suitable for individuals that embody these qualities. Objectively, it is most commonly associated with the Latin word "caecus", meaning "blind or dim-sighted". Subjectively, however, the name is also linked to Saint Cecilia, a Roman martyr, considered to be the patron saint of music and musicians. This connection often leads to interpretations of Cecilia as representing spiritual vision, hidden beauty, or a girl with vision more than sight. It symbolizes the depth of perception beyond seeing (on the surface). The above listed three DVD collections EACH contain OVER five hours of "Angelic and Heavenly Sights and Sounds", designed to transport the listener from this world of earthly cares into Sissel's World of Ethereal Beauty. |

Sissel Kyrkjebø, the international singing sensation and national treasure of Norway, is established as one of the world's leading crossover sopranos. Her angelic and powerful voice has made her a national institution. She has contributed haunting vocals for the soundtrack to "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings", as well as selling over ten million solo albums. In 2006, her album, "The Spirit of the Season" with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir went to number one on the Billboard Classical Charts, and received a Grammy nomination. She captivated the whole nation of Norway in 1986, when she sang during the break at the Eurovision final in Bergen - only 16 years old and dressed in a white bunad (traditional Norwegian folk costume). Since then, her fame and success have just continued to soar. She has been praised and acclaimed at home and abroad, and masters both the small and the very large formats -- everything from American TV shows to film music. Her singing knows no bounds - she masters all genres - from opera to rap! She has sung all over the world, and has performed duets with singers like Charles Aznavour, Andrea Bocelli, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Mario Frangoulis, Josh Groban, Brian May, Neil Sedaka, Bryn Terfel, Russell Watson and rapper Warren G. Her list of achievements makes you dizzy -- ranging from Schubert to Deep Purple - "O mio babbino caro" to "Udsigter fra Ulrikken". Truly a very remarkable talent and voice that only comes once in our lifetime! It is difficult to say anything that hasn't already been said about Sissel, but "National Treasure" and "Voice of Norway" are two of the terms used about the "girl from Bergen". In 2005, she was knighted by the King of Norway, being the youngest ever to receive this honor. In 2022 she received the "Seven Pillars of Humanity Creativity Award" in recognition for her years of humanitarian work around the world and actions representing the good in humanity.

This prestigious Norwegian prize, often described as the country's largest honorary award for outstanding contributions to cultural life, was presented to her alongside two other musicians. The total prize amount was NOK 1.5 million, shared among the three recipients. She also received a hand-calligraphed diploma and a beautiful watercolor by Håkon Gullvåg. Sissel was also honored at the "KK Gala 2025" annual awards event celebrating inspiring Norwegian women across various fields for their achievements, contributions, and influence. She was awarded the honorary prize during the gala for her long-standing career and cultural impact. Sissel starred as Maria von Trapp in the 1988 Norwegian production of, "The Sound of Music" at Chateau Neuf in Oslo -- Click [ HERE ]. She also provided the official dubbing and singing voice for Ariel in the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish language versions of Disney's animated film, "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 -- Click [ HERE ]. In 2026, Sissel was involved in a Norwegian animated Christmas film entitled, "Julenissens Verksted" (The Christmas Elf's Workshop / Santa's Workshop). It marks her return to voice acting in a film after more than 35 years. It is described as a family-friendly film full of humor, Christmas atmosphere, and a warm holiday message. Sissel provides the voice for the grandmother (farmor). This is a new experience for her --- being involved from the early stages (when only sketches existed), unlike her previous voice work. She has spoken positively about the project.
