Snøhetta's avant-garde Oslo Opera House, built in 2008, rises steeply from the adjacent fjord. Its sloping roof doubles as a promenade and appears, as author Victoria Newhouse notes, “to extend to infinity due to the absence of visible rails or balustrades.â€
Completed in 2010, Zaha Hadid’s futuristic Guangzhou Opera House comprises two buildings. The larger, sheathed in black granite, contains the primary theater, shown, while a smaller, clad in complementary white stone, is a multiuse hall. The opera house’s acoustics are enhanced by half-inch scoops in the fiberglass-reinforced gypsum walls; dotting the undulating ceiling are 4,000 twinkling LED lights.
Inside Jean Nouvel’s Danish Radio Concert Hall in Copenhagen, vineyard-style seating and angular balconies surround the stage.
