Oslo Operahuset (5)
Europe, Norge, Olso, Bjørvika, Operahuset, Glass facade (slightly cut)
The Oslo Opera House (in Norwegian, Operahuset) is the seat of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballett, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The building lies in Bjørvika, in the center of Oslo, at the head of the Oslofjord.
Its dominating position made me think about the Sydney Opera House.
Its builder is Statsbygg, a government-run property owner, and architects were Norwegian architects Snøhetta, winning an international architecture competition with this design. The theatre designers are Theatre Projects Consultants based in the London office, the acoustic designers are BrekkeStrandArup, a joint venture between local consultant Brekke Strand Akustikk and international acousticians Arup Acoustics. Norwegian construction company Veidekke was awarded one of the largest building contracts of the project. The future user of the building will be the Norwegian National Opera.
The structure provides a total area of 38,500 m² spanning 1,100 rooms, one of which has 1,350 seats and one with up to 400 seats. The Opera House was finished in 2007 with the opening event held on Saturday April 12, 2008.
