About this audio guide
This guide to Vulkan in Oslo follows a riverside iron foundry that forged steel bridges from the eighteen seventies, and the national dance stage that moved into one of its warehouses in two thousand and eight. It touches the architects who converted the hall and the three Norwegian choreographers who premiered work on its first night. Best heard outside Dansens Hus, where you can see both the brick walls and the roofline.
