Norwegian artists collect NOK 20 million for Haiti A charity concert arranged by Norwegian artists at the Oslo Operahouse on Sunday evening, coupled with a telethon appeal has so far netted NOK 20 million for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
The Opera House was sold out, and ticket sales alone netted NOK 700,000, NRK reports. (Ticket buyers could themselves decide what to pay.) The concert was also televised nationwide by NRKTV, and viewers were encouraged to make automatic call-contributons to the Norwegian Red Cross and Norwegian Church Aid. Telenor figures show that by late Sunday evening NOK 20 million had been contributed by the call-ins. Prior to the concert, Norwegian Church Aid had received NOK 12.5 million in public support, the Norwegian Red Cross NOK 27 million, the Norwegian Save the Children's Fund NOK 11.3 million and Doctors Without Borders Norway NOK 5 million.
