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. In view is a wall that is part of the roof construction.
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.
We had a trip to Sydney during Omicron and found the lack of tourists made it easy to get around and enjoy the sights. Normally the steps of the Opera House would be full of tourists sitting on the steps but not today

The Opéra Garnier is one of the Paris National Opera's two home venues in the city. It was built from 1861 to 1875 on a commission of Napoleon III, along with the Place de l'Opéra on which the building stands, at the intersection of Boulevard des Capucines and Avenue de l'Opéra. Inaugurated as "le Nouvel opéra de Paris" (the New Paris Opera), the venue became known as the "Palais Garnier" within the first decades of its existence, acknowleding the plans and designs of its architect Charles Garnier. The Paris National Opera now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for ballet. The Palais Garnier also houses the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Library-Museum), although the Library-Museum is no longer managed by the Opera and is part of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) is an opera house – and opera company – with a history dating back to the mid-19th century. It is located in the centre of Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera (Wiener Hofoper); in 1920, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra.
The building was the first major building on the Vienna Ringstraße commissioned by the controversial Viennese "city expansion fund". Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, who lived together in the 6. Bezirk. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style.
The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts. The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the necessary quantity was not deliverable. Breitenbrunner stone was suggested as a substitute for the Kelheimer stone, and stone from Jois was used as a cheaper alternative to the Kaiserstein. The staircases were constructed from polished Kaiserstein, while most of the rest of the interior was decorated with varieties of marble.
The decision was made to use dimension stone for the exterior of the building. Due to the monumental demand for stone, stone from Sóskút, widely used in Budapest, was also used. Three Viennese masonry companies were employed to supply enough masonry labour: Eduard Hauser (still in existence today), Anton Wasserburger and Moritz Pranter. The foundation stone was laid on May 20, 1863.

Beijing Opera (京剧; pinyin: Jīngjù) is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance, and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.
The form was extremely popular in the Qing dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China.

Sydney Opera House must be one of the most recognisable images of the modern world - up there with the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building - and one of the most photographed.
Not only is it recognisable, it has come to represent 'Australia'.
Although only having been open since 1973, it is as representative of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome.
Took this whilst we have some cocktail drinks after a long day at Bondi beach.

Ocean liners have been coming here for decades – they come year round from all over the world and what a view!
This ocean liner, the Pacific Pearl, heads out of Sydney harbour – a final farewell blast of the horn as she slides past the Opera House followed by a triumphant cheer which echoes across the foreshore as she slowly drifts out of view.
Turns out the first Opera cake was invented by Dalloyau and rest of the dessert shops followed. The one showing is not from Dalloyau... sorry

Interesting-looking streetlights outside Opéra Garnier.
I am here not only to window-shop Galeries Lafayette, but also locate the stop for Roissybus, the Paris city bus service (run by municipal mass transit agency, RATP) that runs nonstop to De Gaulle Airport; that is my chosen method for going to the airport next day to fly home, rather than the pickpocket-infested RER commuter trains or the expensive Air France coaches.
