I love how the Clyde Auditorium (on the banls of the River Clyde) is now known by the nickname given to it by the people of Glasgow.  It opened in 1997 and the name was officially changed in 2017.  It has an auditorium that seats 3,000 people
in Oslo, the new Opera House (opened in 2008 and winner of Culture Building of the Year in 2009) wa photographed by Petter Karlstrøm. Built on the banks of the Ostofjord , it is Norway's first purpose built opera house and is the largest cultural building constructed in Norway since 1930
