The Oslo Opera House, known as Operahuset in Norwegian, is the home of the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet. Opened in 2008, it's an architectural marvel designed by Snøhetta with a striking marble and granite exterior that invites visitors to walk on its roof. The opera house features a main auditorium accommodating 1,364 seats and hosts various performances throughout the year. It is not only a center for opera but also a cultural landmark in central Oslo, offering panoramic views of the city and fjord. Visitors can explore art installations, including the notable sculpture "She Lies" by Monica Bonvicini. The building is accessible to all, with facilities for people with disabilities.
