The Oslo Opera Ball has been a part of Oslo's cultural life since the 1980s and has, over several decades, developed into one of the city's most traditional events.

The event is run entirely by a voluntary board, consisting of dedicated individuals who contribute their free time without financial gain.

The board is organized into various roles and areas of responsibility, and works throughout the year with the planning, coordination, and execution of the ball – aiming to create an unforgettable experience for all participants.
