Possibly these are Moomins, based on the Finnish comic by Tove Jansson. Either that or Caspars.
Hopefully not the forerunner of a Finnish invasion, this is UK company Universal Everything's animation for Sydney's Opera House during Vivid; they commissioned 22 artists to create 30 30-second digital pieces.
Architect Henning Larsen, donated by the Møller Foundation, completed 2004, one of the most expensive (if not the most expensive) opera houses of the world.
I made a small collage of some of my favorite shots of the Sydney Opera House. Original images were all taken by myself :-).
The Oslo Opera House (Norwegian: Operahuset) is the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The roof of the building angles to ground level creating a large plaza inviting pedestrians to walk up and enjoy the panoramic views of Oslo.
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.
Champagne, cheese, french bread, just a corner of the table, a moment from our posh picnic with friends at Glyndebourne Opera house. Under cover on the upper circle on a wet, misty afternoon, with the brickwork and rooftop of the original country house in the background. Yes, it's that time of year again, already, for an October Glyndebourne weekend.
Actually it has to be called 'sparkling wine', as it's English, from the vineyards at Tenterden, Kent. But the cheese was French :)
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.

Make-up artists are not just face painters. They are like magicians creating mood, character and emotions with people’s face.
I have heard that many portrait photographers have been working closely with the make-up artists in order to make good portraits of all kinds.
This is one of the make-up artists I met with on the day of Chinese opera make-up demo in Chinatown.
Have a great Thursday!
