Chinese opera (Chinese: 戏曲/戲曲; Pinyin: xìqǔ) is a popular form of drama and musical theatre in China with roots going back as far as the third century CE. There are numerous regional branches of Chinese opera, of which the Beijing opera (Jingju) is one of the most notable.

Ornate detail is everywhere in the Paris Opera House. The Opera House, as with so many other building in Paris, is filled with exquisite craftsmanship.
Built in 1896, the Greenfield Opera House is a 2½-story brick structure with a corner turret. Built on the east side of the Greenfield, Iowa town square, it was originally the E.E. Warren Opera House and Warren Dry Goods Store. In its early years, the Opera House hosted traveling theatrical troupes, medicine shows, musical productions and local theatre.

Opera Garnier, Paris. Sunset on Paris meetup. Ominous sky , but turned out nice in the end. Ektachrome rocks and is catching up with the Precisa, my all time favourite. Bright sunny days makes for gorgeous blues whilst overcast weather shifts the sky tonality towards the greens.
Chinese Opera is a fading art in the modern society.

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.
Beijing opera or Peking opera (simplified Chinese: 京剧; traditional Chinese: 京劇; pinyin: Jīngjù) is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.[1] The form was extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China.[2] Major performance troupes are based in Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south.[3] The art form is also enjoyed in Taiwan, where it is known as Guoju (國劇; pinyin: Guójù). It has also spread to other countries such as the United States and Japan.

Canon 350D (RebelXT) with Tokina 12-24 (F4) (18-36mm EQ 35 ))Lens.
ISO 400, 1/30 @ F4, Focal lengh =12mm (18mm equivalent). Hand Held.
Why.
12-24 Lens it is a good city walk around lens - where you want to capture the scene. Also is not too intrusive.
ISO = 400 - Reasonable qiality in lowish light setting that also allow hand holding.
Speed = 1/30 - Lowest I felt that would overcome camera shake.
Aperture = F4 I Felt it would give me enough depth of field (sharpness between forground and background) with the current ISO.
Focal Length = 12mm - I like the POV it gave me
Hand held - because I was a tourist in my own with family and friends (non photographers)
Pic was PP in CS2 to lighten up the foreground.
Opera Class sailing boat during a race off Hoylake.
Opera Class History.
It was in 1899 that the decision was first made to adopt a new class of boat for Hoylake Sailing Club.
The gaff rigged, 16 foot clinker boats were developed from a design by Captain Winchester, a club member, and built by Alex Latta, also a club member and owner of a busy boat building yard. ‘Opera’ class racing commenced at Hoylake in June 1902.
The fleet grew quickly to 17 and has raced regularly since then. In 1909 ‘Orchid’ sailed from Hoylake to Ardrossan and on to Ballycastle in Northern Ireland. 14 boats of the ‘Opera’ class remain today in Hoylake with another ‘La Poupee’ on display in the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
The class has therefore stood the test of time although some boats have been inevitably been lost over intervening years. John Hale, Owner of ‘Country Girl’ comments “They need a great deal of care and attention but thanks to enthusiastic owners, remain in good condition.”

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.
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.
