Modern building of the Oslo Opera House

One of my hobbies during travel is to look for viewpoints to have the best panoramic views of the places I visit. Therefore, it is customary to climb the terraces of emblematic buildings of the cities.

Now, being in front of a building and, simply walking, without climbing stairs or an elevator, reaching the roof to enjoy the panoramic views, I think it is only possible in the Oslo Opera.
