Even though I’m nervous with heights it was great to climb the roof of the Opera and take a look over Oslo followed by a lovely hit chocolate in the cafe of this amazing building.

Den Nationale Scene (The National Stage) is Norway's oldest permanent theatre with roots dating back to 1850 and the Norwegian violinist Ole Bull. The theatre was founded to develop Norwegian playwrights and Henrik Ibsen was one of the first writer-in-residences and art-directors of the theatre. The theatre is situated in a beautiful Art Noveau-building, from 1909, in the middle of Bergen.
