    The construction of the Gothenburg Opera House in Sweden began in September 1989. After several years of construction, it was officially completed and opened in October 1994. It is an important cultural landmark in Gothenburg. Its exterior was designed by architect Jan Izikowitz, with a pirate ship as the core inspiration, and its shape is highly recognizable. The dark red main body of the building is calm and majestic, and with a transparent glass curtain wall, it presents a rich visual effect under light and shadow. The smooth and tense lines outline a unique outline, which not only highlights the simple texture of Nordic art, but also incorporates a distinctive modern atmosphere. The overall visual impact is strong, making it a very representative building in the urban landscape of Gothenburg.
