In connection with the concerts, material is also being
recorded for the extended DVD version of «The Return of the King,» and
Kyrkjebø is participating here too.
The performance is going on tour, and Sydney, Tokyo, Atlanta and New York
City are among the cities on the tour program.
Kyrkjebø is one of the artists who was handpicked to participate, but
according to VG, she may not have the opportunity to attend the entire tour.
«We don’t know if Sissel will have time to perform at all of the shows, but
we hope she will be able to attend a number of them,» said Arne Svare,
Kyrkjebø’s manager to the paper.
