Tenet's Kyiv opera house in Linnahall

Christopher Nolan's Tenet opens with a siege at the Kyiv Opera House. That opera house is really Tallinn's Linnahall. Production designer Nathan Crowley was disappointed with the Royal Swedish Opera as a stand-in. He chose the Linnahall instead, because he liked Brutalist architecture. The huge concrete hall was built as a venue for the sailing regatta of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. It was first called the V. I. Lenin Palace of Culture and Sports. Tenet was released in August 2020. Today the Linnahall is closed to the public and waits for renovation, but it can be seen from outside.

Eesti keeles

Christopher Nolani "Tenet" algab rünnakuga Kiievi ooperimajale. Tegelikult on see ooperimaja Tallinna Linnahall. Kunstnik Nathan Crowley ei olnud rahul Rootsi Kuningliku Ooperiga, mida kaaluti asenduseks. Ta valis hoopis Linnahalli, sest armastas brutalistlikku arhitektuuri. Hiiglaslik betoonhoone ehitati 1980. aasta Moskva olümpiamängude purjeregati jaoks. Algul kandis see nime V. I. Lenini nimeline Kultuuri- ja Spordipalee. "Tenet" jõudis kinodesse 2020. aasta augustis. Praegu on Linnahall avalikkusele suletud ja ootab renoveerimist, kuid seda saab vaadata väljastpoolt.
