The building is a spectacular design. Maybe the $ admission is to help pay for it. :)
That said, it has 2,500 seats.

That is crazy looking. No wonder the tickets are 450 pounds. There isn't a 90 degree angle or straight edge in the entire building. What is the inspiration here? A shell?
I think it's little too "natural" and futuristic for my liking.It's has a pseudo Frank Lloyd Wright design. It also reminds me of one of those creepy Johnny Depp movies- Alice in Wonderland, Willy Wonka, Edward Scissor Hands, etc.
