One of the most beautiful architectures I’ve ever seen!

中には入りませんでしたルーフが坂道になっていて屋上まで無料で徒歩で誰でも登れますところどころ段差があるのでつまずき注意 Oslo湾とOslo市街のスカイラインが美しい日没時に行くのをお勧めします感動します

Me ha parecido una idea fantástica del estudio de arquitectura noruego Snøhetta, hacer un edificio de la ópera, monumental como este con un techo espacio superior totalmente abierto y accesible para pasear y disfrutar de las vistas. A mí me ha transmitido una sensación parecida a acercarse a un templo Egipcio grandes paredes. Genial idea: The Norwegian nature is free for everyone to walk in, and The Oslo Opera House, which opened in 2008, was built as an extension to this idea. Usually, you are likely to be arrested if you walk on rooftops. This new building in the very epicentre of the capital of Norway feels like the complete opposite of the usual “Please don’t touch” culture tourists are often met with worldwide. The subtle variations in the structure of the marble-embellished roof is signed by Norwegian artists Kristian Blystad, Kalle Grude and Jorunn Sannes, and is truly a beautiful surface meant to be stepped on.
