The interior of the Oslo Opera House is a stark contrast from the glacial landscape of white marble. At the heart of the theater is a majestic Wave Wall made from strips of golden oak. Designed by Norwegian boat builders, the wall curves around the auditorium and flows organically into timber stairways leading into the upper levels.
