Bydgoszcz is heading fast to the 21st century, new constructions everywhere. Here the Opera Building.
I never tire of photographing Sydney Opera House. This slightly abstract view was spotted from the Manly Ferry.
The Alexander Spendiaryan National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre, simply known by locals as Opera, is an opera theatre in Yerevan. It officially opened on 20 January 1933, with a performance of Alexander Spendiaryan's opera Almast as its first show. The opera building was designed by architect Alexander Tamanian.
At the Opera
Everything can happen.
Dramas and comedies.
Murder and magic
Old pearls and modern jewels.
Shadows and lights.
A l'opéra, tout peut arriver
Des drames et des comédies
Des meurtres et de la magie
De vieilles perles et des joyaux modernes
L'ombre et la lumière...
Opera Royal de Wallonie, Liege
Just a little change of pace here, for variety. I've been fascinated by seeing other Flickr members' HDR work of small objects and finally had to try my own.
These opera glasses were owned by Kim's grandmother. The barrels are mother-of-pearl, and they still work quite well, though they haven't been to an opera in quite a while.

Even on a cloudy day, Sydney is a great place.
Here's a shot of that iconic building from The Rocks.
the National Theater (Narodni Divadlo) in Prague
I love theaters (opera theater the most) and wanted to take a shot from this position since ever but I never had the chance to do so.
This time was different: our lady guide was very nice and, differently from other guided tour of theaters I visited before (where visitors were secluded in a lateral viewing position) we could sit right in the middle of the parterre seating area
I took the last seat, aimed up, and here it is...
enjoy
This shot is from my collection taken at the Vivid Festival in Sydney. www.vivid.com.au A great event that began last year and has been taken to another level this year!
Some call for this building to be a wonder of the world. I don't know if I agree but it sure is impressive.
What impresses me most is when you're close enough to touch it you realise it is covered in tiles no bigger than my hand!
For a BIGGER impact make sure you view LARGE on black!... it's well worth it!
One last image before the dreadful 13 hour flight home.. Manage to grab this shot of the iconic Paris Opera all thanks to the equality iconic Paris traffic.
Hate to leave for home and back to reality. Till we meet again Europe
Paris, Feb 2013
I'll try to describe it: Canon 5D III, 17-40 F4L Approx a 30 second exposure downloaded to Aperture. Downloaded from my photostream to my ipad then edited in Reflections App, then touched up again in Photoshop Express. Hence no Exif info.
Ansonia, CT
November 2021
"Built at 100 Main Street in Ansonia in 1869-1870, the Ansonia Opera House served as the lower Naugatuck Velley’s premier theater and public hall until the Sterling Opera House was built in Derby in 1889. The Ansonia Opera House’s hall is on the third floor of the building, while stores are located on the first floor. Until 1910, the hall was run by a corporation called the Ansonia Hall Company, in which Jeremiah Bartholomew and his descendants held a controlling interest.
Connecticut’s oldest opera house, for sixty years it was the center of Ansonia’s civic and social activity and entertainment, including graduations, dances, recitals, basketball games and boxing matches. Sometime after 1896, additional windows were added to the building‘s second floor. In 1971, the state fire marshal’s office closed the hall to public assemblies. It was later rented out as a gym and then as storage space and is currently in need of restoration."

As one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, it's hard not to be awestruck when standing in the presence of the Sydney Opera House. During our trip, we were extremely fortunate to be given a private tour of this exceptional landmark as well as dine within its walls.
As we strolled the vacant halls, our guide detailed the history behind the planning & construction of this fascinating structure. Much to our surprise, we learned that the exterior 'shells' and the interior of the building are in fact two separate structures. We also learned that the initial designer of the opera house, Jørn Utzon, ended up leaving the project due to conflicts and never returned to Sydney to return its completion.
Truly an extraordinary landmark and an undeniable reminder that you have landed 'down under'.

A quote about opera from the Terry Pratchett book Maskerade. The quote is not exact to what's in the book, as I only listen to the book on tape and got this quote online and couldn't check it against the original text.
