El Teatre-Museu Dalí, inaugurat el 1974, fou construït sobre les restes de l'antic teatre de Figueres, i forma part del triangle dalinià empordanès junt amb el Castell Gala Dalí de Púbol i la Casa-Museu Salvador Dalí de Portlligat, tots gestionats per la Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí.
L'actual edifici del Museu Dalí és un espai que fou, durant molts anys, el Teatre Principal de Figueres, construït entre 1849 i 1850, obra de l'arquitecte Josep Roca i Bros, i ple d'activitat en la vida figuerenca de l'època, pel qual hi passaren de gira les principals companyies d'òpera que actuaven al Liceu de Barcelona i una gran quantitat de grups de sarsuela i de teatre que constantment recorrien Espanya. Sorgí com a resultat de l'activitat cívica cultural i associativa de la societat figuerenca del segle XIX. Fou un exemple més dintre de l'onada de construcció de teatres, entre els quals destaquen els d'Olot, Girona, Barcelona, Reus, Valls, etc. El 1939 s'incendià i quedà parcialment destruït i posteriorment abandonat. Quan Dalí era petit era l'únic teatre de Figueres, i aquí havia estat on havia vist les seves primeres obres teatrals i altres espectacles); un teatre que ja havia estat construït sobre un altre teatre encara més antic, aixecat el 1814, segons diferents historiadors, i que a la vegada havia estat, antigament, un cementiri.
Inaugurat el 1974, és considerat com la darrera gran obra de Salvador Dalí. Tot en ell va ser concebut i dissenyat per l'artista, per tal d'oferir al visitant una veritable experiència i endinsar-lo en el seu món captivador i únic. L'embrió del projecte del Teatre-Museu sorgeix a principis dels anys seixanta. Ramon Guardiola, llavors alcalde de Figueres, sol·licita a Salvador Dalí la donació d'una obra per al Museu de l'Empordà. La resposta de Dalí no es fa esperar, a Figueres no només li regalarà una obra, sinó tot un museu, i escull l'edifici de l'antic teatre, que només conservava la seva estructura perifèrica. La inauguració oficial del Teatre-Museu Dalí va ser el 28 de setembre de 1974.
ArTurbina Teatri Eksperimental
This building aims to preserve the memory of the old building and turn it into a turbine that produces art, hence the name of art + turbine. Almost all building spaces are multifunctional. Together with the new public square, arTurbina will form an endless art platform.
In the most conspicuous upper corner, stands a transparent cylinder, which creates one of the most suggestive building elements for visitors and artists. The cylinder has served as the artistic signal of many art events so far.
The entrance hall is reserved not only for the bar, but is also easily adapted for exhibitions, ceremonies and other activities.
Amargosa Opera House Death Valley Junction, California. www.amargosa-opera-house.com/index.htm . If you ever go to Death Valley, be sure to stop by and check out this amazing theater in the desert.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amargosa_Opera_House_and_Hotel. Death Valley Junction is the actual name of this tiny community where the opera house is located. For me, this place has always been an otherworldly landmark for the entrance to Death Valley National Park. The first time I passed by here I was a little astounded because you drive miles and miles and see nothing but sand and brush punctuated by beer bottles and plastic bags. Then, you come around a corner and signs of civilization like more trash and rusty, equipment and one more corner and there is an “opera house”. Make a left just beyond the opera house (NE) and in about 10 miles you at Furnace Creek.
The Zürich Opera House has been the home of the Zürich Opera since 1891, and also houses the Bernhard-Theater Zürich and the Zürich Ballet.
Built to replace the Aktientheater which burnt down in 1890, it was originally known the Stadttheater Zürich, a description that appears on the building’s lintel. It was built by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer, who changed their previous design for a theatre in Wiesbaden only slightly. It was built in only 16 months and was opened in 1891, and was the first opera house in Europe to have electrical lighting.
It was the city's main performance space for drama, opera, and musical events until 1925, when it was renamed Opernhaus Zürich and a separate theatre for plays was built
By the 1970s, the opera house was badly in need of major renovations; when some considered it not worth restoring, a new theatre was proposed for the site. However, between 1982 and 1984, rebuilding took place but not without huge local opposition. In response to the combination of high subsidies for opera and the lack of cultural programs for youth, large protests were held in May 1980. The protests became known as the Opernhauskrawalle youth protests or in the local dialect “Züri brännt”, which means “Zurich is burning”, as documented in the 1981 Swiss documentary film of the same name.
The rebuilt theatre was inaugurated with Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and the world première of Rudolf Kelterborn’s Chekhov opera Der Kirschgarten.
As restored, the theatre is an ornate building with a neo-classical façade of white and grey stone adorned with busts of Weber, Wagner, and Mozart. Additionally, busts of Schiller, Shakespeare, and Goethe are to be found.

This is the Sydney Opera House about 45 minutes before dawn. It was almost dark, however I've post processed the image in CS6 to show how those huge glass panes add a modern cathedral look to the Opera House - I'd love to see it become a house of worship, and I think it would make it a perfect temple to worship the Supreme Being.
Exposure was about a minute at ISO 100 F22. I used a Hahnel Giga T Pro to interface with my camera. Something wrong with this device (hope it's just a battery).
Bear in mind that the shot was taken in near darkness from a distance of maybe 500 metres. This shot is about 10% of the original image area and has had almost no sharpening applied.
I think that's an astonishing result.
With respect to the Tokina 16-28 - I had wanted a Nikon 16-35 but the Tokina cost me $550 - less than half the price. I love the thing. As you can see from the crop, it's very sharp. I also think it has the "star Trek factor." It's such a nice piece of gear to hold in the hand. Heavy, precise and gorgeous, like the Nikon 24-70. I've noticed Sigma are making lenses with the Star Trek factor now, especially the 35 and 50 F1.4 art series. Nikon needs to address this. Nikon lenses for consumers are pretty mundane and the pro ones are prohibitively expensive.
AFFICHE D'OPERA
I must say I am so fed up with this opera that I just put a link for you to see the dance.......
Local opera and movie house located in McConnelsville. Aptly named for McConnelsville and Malta, Ohio, that the opera house serves. A good write up of its history can be found at this link:
The Opéra Garnier is one of the Paris National Opera's two home venues in the city. It was built from 1861 to 1875 on a commission of Napoleon III, along with the Place de l'Opéra on which the building stands, at the intersection of Boulevard des Capucines and Avenue de l'Opéra. Inaugurated as "le Nouvel opéra de Paris" (the New Paris Opera), the venue became known as the "Palais Garnier" within the first decades of its existence, acknowleding the plans and designs of its architect Charles Garnier. The Paris National Opera now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for ballet. The Palais Garnier also houses the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Library-Museum), although the Library-Museum is no longer managed by the Opera and is part of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
A Ópera Garnier ou Palais Garnier é uma casa de ópera localizada no IX arrondissement de Paris, França. O edifício é considerado uma das obras-primas da arquitetura de seu tempo.

Sichuanese opera (Chinese: 川劇 is a type of Chinese opera originating in China's Sichuan province around 1700.Today's Sichuan opera is a relatively recent synthesis of 5 historic melodic styles. Regionally Chengdu remains to be the main home of Sichuanese opera.
Overall the art form is well known for its singing, which is less constrained than that of the more popular Beijing opera form. Sichuan opera is more like a play than other forms of Chinese opera, and the acting is highly polished. The music accompanying Sichuanese opera utilizes a small gong and an instrument called a Muqin, which is similar to the Erhu.
The traditional formula is quite systematic with a combination of stunts like face-changing, tihuiyan, sword-hiding, fire-spitting and beard-changing with the plot and different characters.
Depending on the style, face paint is also limited compared to other related forms. Jing characters do not appear, and the only painted face characters are those with a small white patch in the middle of the face, which indicates a slightly evil character.The face paint colors are traditionally limited to black, red, white and grey.
The Opéra de Nice is the principal opera venue in Nice, France, which houses the Ballet Nice Méditerrannée and the Nice Philharmonic Orchestra. It offers three types of performances: operas, ballets and classical music concerts.
De estilo neobarroco, la Ópera Garnier, también llamado Ópera de París o Palacio Garnier, fue construido por el arquitecto Charles Garnier a petición de Napoleón III. Desde que se inauguró en 1874 fue oficialmente la Academia Nacional de Música. En 1989 la Compañía de la Ópera fue trasladada hasta el recientemente construido Teatro de la Bastilla, que recibió ese nombre por estar erigido en el lugar donde antaño se alzaba la Bastilla. A pesar de este cambio el Palacio Garnier sigue siendo conocido cómo la Ópera de París y continúa siendo una referencia para los amantes de este género.
Como curiosidad os diré que los hechos acontecidos en la obra de Gastón Leroux, El Fantasma de la Ópera, transcurren en este edificio.
