I was surprised how the verdigris on the bronze ribs under the shells of the Opera House had turned a very bright green.
The Oslo Opera House (Norwegian: Operahuset) is the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The roof of the building angles to ground level creating a large plaza inviting pedestrians to walk up and enjoy the panoramic views of Oslo.
Champagne, cheese, french bread, just a corner of the table, a moment from our posh picnic with friends at Glyndebourne Opera house. Under cover on the upper circle on a wet, misty afternoon, with the brickwork and rooftop of the original country house in the background. Yes, it's that time of year again, already, for an October Glyndebourne weekend.
Actually it has to be called 'sparkling wine', as it's English, from the vineyards at Tenterden, Kent. But the cheese was French :)
ArTurbina Teatri Eksperimental
This building aims to preserve the memory of the old building and turn it into a turbine that produces art, hence the name of art + turbine. Almost all building spaces are multifunctional. Together with the new public square, arTurbina will form an endless art platform.
In the most conspicuous upper corner, stands a transparent cylinder, which creates one of the most suggestive building elements for visitors and artists. The cylinder has served as the artistic signal of many art events so far.
The entrance hall is reserved not only for the bar, but is also easily adapted for exhibitions, ceremonies and other activities.

The Palais Garnier is an elegant 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera by the architect Charles Garnier. It was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when a new 2,700-seat house, the Opéra Bastille, with elaborate facilities for set and production changes, opened at the Place de la Bastille. The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.
The Palais Garnier is probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur basilica. This is at least partly due to its use as the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel The Phantom of the Opera and the novel's subsequent adaptations in films and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular 1986 musical. Another contributing factor is that among the buildings constructed in Paris during the Second Empire, besides being the most expensive, it has been described as the only one that is unquestionably a masterpiece of the first rank."
