The Opera House is the largest cultural building to be constructed in Norway and an important symbol to the nation. The building houses 1100 rooms as well as a 1,350-seat performance auditorium and a small 400-seat auditorium. The Opera House will employ over 600 people, including production and sound crew who will be utilising Clear-Com's FreeSpeak wireless beltpack for point-to-point communication.
The Clear-Com system chosen by the Nytt Operahus includes a 64-port Eclipse Omega Digital Matrix controlling a FreeSpeak 50 digital wireless intercom system using two E-Que cards, 40 FreeSpeak belt packs, 20 antennas and over 30 4000 series panels.
The Operahus is scheduled for completion in September 2008. Installation of the Clear-Com intercom solution began in Spring 2007.
