Epic architecture with a great mix of glass and wood design. Great cafe to have a drink and recharge. Interesting sculpture in the water just outside the building.
Guided tour in English is strongly recommended. For 100 NOK you will see the inner space of the theatre (costumes production, decoration factory, ballet school for children etc).
Avoid the 100kr tickets, they are cheap but offer a bad view of the show (especially the ones on the sides of stage). BTW building's architecture is amazing and the quality of the plays is superlative
The building is meant to resemble a floating iceberg. It's designers deliberately intended for its structure to "open towards the Oslo fjord" and invite people to climb it. Don't miss the top view!
We ain't got nothing like Paris, Vienna or La Scala in Milano. But we have this. Beautiful Scandinavian design. This is what the rest of the world look to for inspiration. I love going to the opera.
It was near the sea with an amazing view.500mio eur has been spent for the building,acoustic of the walls1400 people capacity,60 people work at costume workshops for the performances.Take 50mins tour.
