Why Oslo Opera House matters
The Oslo Opera House looks like a glacier rising from the fjord. Its white sloping roof is a public walkway, so anyone can stroll to the top and enjoy views over the harbour and city. Inside, a wood-clad foyer leads to the performance halls. It is a symbol of Oslo's modern waterfront, and especially lovely at sunset.
Talking points
- The roof is open to the public.
- The marble facade shimmers like ice.
- Guided tours are available.
