Date: 11 Jan, 2026 | Time: 17:30 | Tata Theatre
A poetic meditation on space, light, and landscape, The Oslo Opera House explores Snøhetta’s landmark building rising from Oslo’s harbor and fjord. Completed in 2008, the opera house blurs the boundary between inside and outside, inviting the public onto its vast marble roof while housing opera and ballet within. Filmmaker Margreth Olin follows the thousands of visitors who traverse the building daily, alongside the performers and staff working beneath its surface, revealing how architecture becomes a living stage where art, nature, and everyday life intersect.
