Yesterday evening my girlfriend and I went to check out a stunt they tried out on top of the new Oslo Opera building. The Opera Carmen was sold out after just a few days, so they rigged up a big screen outside on the Opera roof and had a free Live show of the same concert as it was performed indoors. It turned out to be an enormous event with over 7000 people coming for a look. This was April in Norway… cold is a key word. Not everybody stuck it out for the full opera, but it was a better experience than I expected.
The first part had the most viewers. After a while the sun came and we had a magnificent view of the sunset as it set behind one of the big buildings next to the Opera, Havnelageret. (The big pink building in one of the pictures below). Some of the people nearest the traffic had some noise during the concert, but except for that the sound was pretty good.
