Very interesting place. Nice to have an opera you can actually walk on it. Was not at the perfOrmance. Just enjoyed architecture and loved it. Hope the surroundings soon would be fixed as it is a great place for view without view yet

Wonderful place, views are constantly changing as you walk on the sloping plaza, spaces inside are great. To architecture buffs, there is a good back-of-house tour for 100 NOK, students 60 NOK. There are always inexpensive tickets to shows for 100 NOK as well.

Acoustic is to die for, seating could be better. Take your time and look around, enjoy it while you can.

The Opera House was a short walk from our hotel. We did not go inside but, like many others, we walked to the top of the roof. It was quite a windy cold day but the views from the top were well worth the hike up the steep roof.

An amazing building...you can walk right on the top of this beautiful building situated on the Oslo Fjord. My 14 year old loved it too! The views are superb. We didn't have time to take the tour, wish we had. The inside is warm wood, and the exterior white marble which resembles an iceberg, with a sculpture in the harbour... More

I didn't get into the auditorium itself, but the lobby and exterior of the Opera House is an exceptional experience. The architecture is one of a kind, rivals Sydney in both design and setting. You can walk up the sloping roof and get a birds eye view of the harborside. I went in early evening with a marvelous sun setting... More

The Oslo Opera House is well worth a visit. The inside, with all the wood, is beautiful. The most spectacular thing is to walk on the roof, however. The weather was perfect for our visit and it was really magical. Please visit!!
