Although Bergen does not have its own opera house, it does have its own opera company. Den Nye Opera (The New Opera) usually put on a few productions throughout the year. Summer performances are often at the Bergenhus Fortress while other productions are performed at Den Nationale Scene or at Grieghallen. Tickets are available online. Tickets usually range from kr. 200 to kr. 550 depending on seating and availability. Bergen does not attract the top performers, and the quality may vary a bit, usually anywhere between superb and a bit below average.
Bergen National Opera is a Norwegian opera company based in Bergen. The company has its administrative headquarters at the Grieghallen.
Runs for several kilometers between Sandviken and Bellevue, largely horizontal and pedestrian.
Skansen brannstasjon
Excellent and easily available panorama point just above the funicular lowest station. Right in front of the old fire outlook, a small white wooden tower, now used by one of the city's buekorps.
Panorama point on the Tippetue footpath to Mt. Fløyen.
Lovely place on the highest point of Nordnes peninsula, towards the aquarium.
Pleasant park at the very tip of the peninsula, towards the sun set late summer evenings.
Johanneskirken
St. John's Church (Johanneskirken) dominates the top of Nygårdshøyden, the hill that hosts the University of Bergen. Nice view of the very centre.
