VIP guests at opening of Norway's new opera house

Norway is celebrating the opening of a new national opera house and to mark the occasion it has invited some notable guests from abroad. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was among those at the inauguration of the futuristic structure on the shores of the Oslo Fjord. She joined royalty from Norway, Denmark and Sweden for a gala first night performance.

The construction of the white marble building marks the realisation of a long-held dream in the Nordic nation. Built at a cost of more than 500 million euros, the opera house is set to become a major architectural landmark.
