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:

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.
Built circa 1852 as the Charlottesville Town Hall. In 1887 it became an opera house. Today it appears to be used as a courthouse.
"Lighting The Sails", an art installation by Brian Eno: various changing designs are projected onto the famous silhouette of the Sydney Opera House. It is a feature of the "Luminous" festival, itself part of the current "Vivid" festival in central Sydney.
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.
Boom Crash Opera
I always name my images after songs, but this time I've made a slight change. There was a well know band here in Oz during the 80s and early 90s called Boom Crash Opera. I just couldn't resist naming this Long Exposure shot after them. I waited and waited looking through the viewfinder until the rear of the Queen Mary looked like it was just about came in contact with the front sail of the Opera House. I think I timed it pretty well, and this is the final image, processed in B&W with just a hint of colour. Hope you like it...Mike

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.

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.
