Opera en el Ă“pera.
JalĂ© la cobija, me puse las chanclas, a dos pasos, el lavabo del baño me esperaba con el cepillo de dientes y el dentĂfrico en pasta, en lo que abrĂa la llave del agua caliente me preparĂ© cafĂ©. SalĂ del baño y me rasurĂ© los 3 pelos de la cara, despuĂ©s me darĂa cuenta de que no eran 3 sino 5.
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
Ansonia, CT

"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."

The Palais Garnier, also known as the Opéra de Paris or Opéra Garnier, but more commonly as the Paris Opéra, is a 2,200-seat opera house on the Place de l'Opéra in Paris, France. A grand landmark designed by Charles Garnier in the Neo-Baroque style, it is regarded as one of the architectural masterpieces of its time.
The building is located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris and is served by the metro station Opéra.
Upon its inauguration in 1875, the opera house was officially named the AcadĂ©mie Nationale de Musique - ThĂ©Ă¢tre de l'OpĂ©ra. It retained this title until 1978 when it was re-named the ThĂ©Ă¢tre National de l'OpĂ©ra de Paris.
In 1896, one of the counter-weights for the grand chandelier fell, killing one. This, as well as the underground lake, cellars and other elements of the Opera House, inspired Gaston Leroux in 1909 to write his classic Gothic novel, The Phantom of the Opera.

Opéra Garnier, ook wel Palais Garnier genoemd, is een operagebouw in Parijs, gebouwd tussen 1861 en 1875.
Opéra Garnier is in 1861 ontworpen door de architect Charles Garnier in opdracht van Napoleon III. Het gebouw zou worden geopend in 1871, maar als gevolg van de Frans-Duitse oorlog werd de opening uitgesteld tot 5 januari 1875. Het interieur is rijkelijk voorzien van bladgoud, fresco's en marmer. Het plafond is in 1964 beschilderd door Marc Chagall. De stijl is neobarok, eclectisch en potsierlijk extravagant te noemen.
Dit is het grootste operagebouw ter wereld met een oppervlakte van ruim 11.000 m².
Het gebouw is onder meer bekend doordat Het spook van de opera (een roman van Gaston Leroux) zich er afspeelt. Er worden tegenwoordig vooral balletvoorstellingen gehouden; de operafunctie is grotendeels overgenomen door Opéra Bastille.

When it became apparent that there was a lot of renovation-work to be done on the opera, and especially after it was given a price-tag, voices became loud which said, "for that much money we could almost build a new one."
Well, it seems that these were exactly the words that somebody said after WW2, when the condition of the damaged 'old' opera house on Rudolfplatz was scrutinized. The result is pictured above, and there is now a hotel on Rudolfplatz.
Anyway, the decision was positive, in that this structure will be completely refurbished and the neighboring theatre (Schauspielhaus) will be razed and a new structure with new concept will be built in its place (whether that is positive remains to be seen!!)
Explored.....
The opera offers a wide range of operas, musicals, classic and modern ballet. The river-side building is worth a visit for its architecture alone.
Every opera house is haunted by ghosts: victims of exposure, murder, suicide, drowning, a broken heart, curses, martyrdom, an avalanche (1), and just plain bad luck. Kings, queens, clerics, artists, philosophers, peasants, gypsies, heroes, heroines -- none are spared.
A voice of Opera. A quick portrait whilst in conversation. Natural light. I thought Eli looked a little Sheryl Crow on this.
Thank you to all who have commented and faved my work recently. I appreciate you taking the time to look. Have a great week.

This is what performers see when on stage at the Detroit Opera House. 2700 people looking at you!
The Detroit Opera House is an ornate theater located in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. The 2,700-seat venue is the home of productions of the Michigan Opera Theater and a variety of other events. The theater was originally designed by C. Howard Crane, who created other prominent theaters in Detroit including The Fillmore Detroit, the Fox Theater and the Detroit Symphony's Orchestra Hall. It opened on January 22, 1922. The building underwent an extensive restoration which took place in the 1990s. It reopened in 1996.
Over the years, the theater has gone through several name changes, being:
Capitol Theater (1922–1929)
Paramount Theater (1929–1934)
Broadway Capitol Theater (1934–1960s)
Grand Circus Theater (1960s–1985)
My thanks go out to Gary the Longelistener, who works here, and gave me a spectacular tour of the place from stage to roof.
