For some reason that foreigners will probably find rather odd, there has been a huge debate over where to build the new Opera House in Oslo. In the meantime, opera, ballet and concerts are performed at the "old" Opera House by Youngstorget square. There is often a free information session about the piece that is to be performed one hour before the performance, but do check about this in advance.

+47 22 46 0526 The name gives it away: this is wet. Huge fish-tanks, marine colors and a slightly confusing architecture take you under water. And it gets even better: every Tuesday and Thursday night opera students perform known and unknown classical pieces in the stairwell, for free. Be there early, Underwater is always crowded on opera nights. The audience consists mainly of students from Oslo College and the University of Oslo, both located nearby. When there is no live music, trendy pop and famous classical music are most likely to be on the musical menu. The nice, green lounge St. Hanshaugen is just around the corner.
