Even if you are not interested in classical music the opera house could be a good place to visit. It is built in a way that you can walk around it and on top of it. An intention by the architects of snøhetta to make it a less elitist and more inclusive venue. 

If you like classical music you can get tickets online to see a performance. Sometimes there are also pop concerts and other events outdoors on a floating stage.
