Dubbed “the most prestigious square kilometer in the world,” the Dubai Opera House is located in downtown Dubai at the Opera District where it shows performances year round.

[...] An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house [...]

Pitigliano, Italy (July, 2011)
The exciting new opera house is located right on the waters of the Oslofjord; it was constructed between 2003 and 2007 and formally opened in 2008. It was designed by the Oslo architecture firm Snøhetta AS.
It has quickly become Oslo's most iconic building. The most intriguing aspect of its design is its roof construction. If reaches from the top of the building all the way to the waters of the Oslofjord. People can walk on the entire roof, and on a sunny day many locals lie on the sloped roof and work on a sun tan.
The Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of Sydney and Australia. Because the roof was designedto look like sails on the harbour, I also distorted this shot so that the roof really looked lik a number of huge spinekers.
