Oslo Opera House - Where Architecture Becomes Landscape

19 Aug 2025

Description

The Oslo Opera House is one of the most striking cultural buildings of the 21st century, a vast white roof that rises from the fjord and invites everyone to walk across it. In this episode, discover how Norway went from a century of hesitation to building a landmark that opened ahead of schedule, under budget, and instantly became the heart of a neighborhood. From the political debates and bold design competition, to the challenges of laying 36,000 marble panels on a roof shaped by snow and rain, this is the story of how an opera house became a public plaza, a national icon, and a neighbor to the city.
