I took some pictures from the firework that GP newspaper fire of every year in the harbour. Also made some youtube movies but are not satisfied with them(they need some more work).
Göteborg Opera impressive in form and grandeur, its shape seems a ship will split Gota canal waters ... Glass, grandeur, modern so in three words define this wonderful building.
Right on the waterfront, it's a beautiful performance space built in 1994. Good sightlines, comfortable seating, and excellent options for dining or drinks before or after. Saw an absolutely brilliant staging of Le Nozze di Figaro; stellar cast.
Wonderful to see down by the water but it was hard to find out if there was a show on to see. We ere lucky the day we were there because there were a lot of tall ships near the area to make for some great pictures. Structurally a very interesting building with modern design. We also could not find out anything in regards to tours of the building?
The Gothenburg Opera House conducts tours of the building. This is very worthwhile seeing the behind-the-scenes to what makes a great audience experience. The building is a honeycomb of rooms and functions that will fascinate you.
Goteborg Opera is a very high quality opera house. They performe operas, musicals, operettas and dance pieces. I have seen many performances throughout the past years and every single one has been a very nice experience. Last time a saw Billy Budd opera and that was just as good as it gets in every way! The theatre self is a very nice building and the location is just beautiful, by the water. Before performances there's a free introduction lecture to the evening's performance. The bar and the opera shop are also very nice. The opera company has a good web site where one can find a lot of information of the productions, videos etc.
Great architectural design. Good for photos. Lovely scenery as well with boats docked in the area.They had an event going on when we entered. Huge field outside the opera and we saw people doing yoga (?). Pretty safe to visit at night. Beautiful light up and would look good in photos.
I am not a opera fan, but this is a cool building to see. If you plan to see a opra or a event here don't plan on drinking too much, there are far too few bathrooms for the amount of people it holds, so the lines were so long.....
The newish Gothenburg Opera has an excellent location with the harbour just metres away. The likeness with the Oslo Opera is striking. As this is a new opera it is designed outside with a modernistic mind in thought, big glass windows, with a view that is magnificient in the summer months. As our visit was in October, it was dark and difficult to get the same feeling.There in a nice restaurant, but as the crowds were gathering up, the sound level increased and it got noisy in the restaurant. We just walked by the diners and they must have felt "overlooked.Once in the main opera hall it is clear that the building is new. The design is sparse and modern. We were on 2nd balcony and sound and view was ok, not perfect, but compared to paying 3-4 times more on the front row? Well, price-worthy, if you can get bargains like this it is an nice treat to "A Night At The Opera".
We went to Gothenburg mainly to visit the Opera House for a performance of Billy Budd. The performance and production were excellent and prompt us to look for further interesting operas at that venue in the future.The Opera House itself was striking in appearance, wonderfully located next to the water and very comfortable in the auditorium.
