Urban Pleasures

Operabygget og utsikt fra ekeberg 19 juni 2012 002

This is the new operahouse in Oslo. Built by Statsbygg, designed by Snøhetta, it has become a landmark as well as a popular area to visit for all kinds of people. From my house it takes less than 10 minutes to walk down there: I feel so fortunate!

The opera has also expanded its repertoire greatly with this new building; by my last visit 9.june the opera orcestra performed a symphony with Russian composers; Glinka, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky: tomorrow I am planning to see Kingwings versus The National Ballet; breakdance and classic at the same time!

…and perhaps end the evening as yesterday taking a trip up the hill to Ekebergrestauranten to enjoy the setting of the sun…
