Guided tour in English is strongly recommended. For 100 NOK you will see the inner space of the theatre (costumes production, decoration factory , ballet school for children etc).

Chris Shanahan

Epic architecture with a great mix of glass and wood design. Great cafe to have a drink and recharge. Interesting sculpture in the water just outside the building.

Andrea

Avoid the 100kr tickets, they are cheap but offer a bad view of the show (especially the ones on the sides of stage). BTW building's architecture is amazing and the quality of the plays is superlative

Bijan Kafi

The building is meant to resemble a floating iceberg. It's designers deliberately intended for its structure to "open towards the Oslo fjord" and invite people to climb it. Don't miss the top view !

OJ Brat

We ain't got nothing like Paris, Vienna or La Scala in Milano. But we have this. Beautiful Scandinavian design. This is what the rest of the world look to for inspiration. I love going to the opera.

Özden Hantal

Inan Zeynep

Really amazing. If you are an architect, you are admired by every detail. incredible! Especially the roof's. If there is any activity at opera saloon, don t miss it.

Monica Desai

Beautiful architecture , and a great icon of the construction underway in Oslo, definitely worth stopping by to admire.

No More Halos

One of the signature buildings in Oslo . Definitely a must visit. Don’t forget to climb to the top!

Anya Roxie

A modern building close to the fjord. Looks impressive in good and sunny weather. It’s nice to have a walk around and make photos.

Jessica

A must see when visiting Oslo. Beautiful architecture . Walk up to the roof for views of the water!

Manja Kochannek

Very nice, original architecture . You can walk litterall all over the building. I love the shape and the wooden construction inside. Location is awesome too. I always go there when in Oslo!

Rune Nygard

A modern Oslo landmark , definitely worth visiting. Go for a walk on the outside sloping italian marble walls rising up from the water. Enjoy a play or a concert inside. Or opera, of course..

Amaury J

Beautiful building in Oslo ! Go at night and during the day. Great views of the city from the top. The design is beautiful as well .

Y Kim

Free wifi and interesting architecture . However, a construction site surrounding the building really interrupts the appreciation...Their concerts look pretty well-made.

Eigil Moe

One of the nicest buildings in Oslo and of course the best place for opera in the country .

Al B.

Don’t want to go in? Don’t worry the outside is just as beautiful to enjoy as the inside. Best view if anything is to take a ship out and view it afar.

Matthias

Interesting architecture . We've been walking up the roof (as everybody does by the way) and enjoyed the view ... ????

Lisa Starbucks

Just casually walking on the roof ???? Great spot to see all the construction work around Oslo (... not).

Yalkin Ozemel

Interesting architecture , the marble structure and the path to roof is breathtaking. You can enjoy a sandwich by the seaside but be aware of the seagulls!

Haytham Ibrahim

Offers very nice views of Oslo from the top of the Opera House, specially by night.

Tules Yegin

Outside and inside are gorgeous to walk around Deff a must see!

Interior design and the building itself is amazing. Not only take photo from outside but also go inside!

A magic view over Oslo from the top of the roof. Great place!

Michael Greenberg

Very cool building. Make sure you walk up to the roof for the view (plus it's cool to walk on the roof!)

Javier Sianes

Very beautiful building. Enjoy taking a walk in Opera's roof. Peaceful place with good view in the top. Recommended.

Joyce Ip

What a fabulous architecture in the heart of Oslo! Worth visiting for sure

Ingvild M. Plosiv

Go for a walk on the roof of the Opera House. One of the best free things to do in Oslo.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Take the steep climb up the roof to see a great view of the water.

Viggo Holger-Jensen

If you're here mainly for the music , and are on a budget, do go for the NOK 100,- seats. The acoustics are great, all over the house.

Astrid Humerfelt

Great architecture , expensive drinks. Nice tours of the building during the weekends! Book it online

Konstantinos Vasiliou

Take the guided tour . It goes through the backstage and the costume dsign area. Really worth it!

Christoffer Engström

Go inside and take a look at the organic shapes that is a huge contrast to the straight and cold outside.

Alex Robins

This is a amazing construction coast about 50 Million Euros for the Marmor Stone. Nice View only minus is that arround this Building is a construcion place....

Gwendoline Blampain

The architecture is amazing. You can walk on the top but pay attention in winter it's very sleepy, believe me !

Absolutely breathtaking view from the top of the opera house. Worth a visit.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Amazing design, lovely building, the ability to walk to the top is very interesting

I've got to say it's just as beautiful outside as inside. Walk on the roof for a high vantage point of downtown Oslo.

Amazing building! Definitely a must see in Oslo, especially on a not too hot summer day.

A beautifully designed building where you have the opportunity to walk on the roof. A must see!
