La Ópera Estatal de Viena es uno de los teatros de ópera más importantes del mundo, donde se puede disfrutar de una gran variedad de óperas en el más alto nivel artístico. Fue fundada en 1869 inaugurando la actual Casa de la Ópera de Viena presente en la Ringstrasse (la compañía fue anteriormente conocida como Ópera de la Corte de Viena).
Fue el primero de varios grandes edificios públicos a lo largo de la Ringstrasse. Algunos de los mejores directores de todos los tiempos se han presentado allí, como Mahler, Strauss, Krauss y von Karajan.
Los orígenes de esta Casa de la Ópera no son muy afortunados. Los arquitectos fueron severamente criticados, la gente hablaba de una “caja sumergida”, lo cual causó que uno de sus arquitectos, Eduard van der Null, se suicidara porque no podía soportar la reacción negativa de los ciudadanos de Viena a su trabajo.
El otro arquitecto, August von Sicardsburg, murió poco tiempo después de un ataque al corazón. La Casa de la Ópera fue casi totalmente destruida en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero poco después fue reconstruido siguiendo los planos originales, siendo su reapertura en 1955.
La Ópera Estatal de Viena está estrechamente vinculada a la Filarmónica de Viena, una institución independiente de la contratación de sus miembros de la orquesta de la Ópera Estatal de Viena. A efectos prácticos, la calidad (aunque notoriamente variable) de la Opera Estatal de Viena es igual a la de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Viena.
La Casa de la Ópera de Viena tiene una reputación mundial por sus representaciones de ópera de primera clase. Una noche en la Ópera Estatal es uno de los acontecimientos más impresionantes que cualquier visitante de Viena debe experimentar.
El edificio se asemeja al Renacimiento italiano, ya que esta época fue inmensamente importante para el arte y la música. Las primeras óperas fueron escritas e interpretadas en Italia durante el siglo 16. La enorme galería que conduce a la Ringstrasse tiene como objetivo poner de relieve la apertura de la casa al público. Es embellecida por un ciclo precioso que representa ‘la Flauta Mágica’ de Mozart y otras óperas famosas llevadas a cabo por el pintor Moritz von Schwind.

The Palais Garnier is an elegant 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera by the architect Charles Garnier. It was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when a new 2,700-seat house, the Opéra Bastille, with elaborate facilities for set and production changes, opened at the Place de la Bastille. The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.
The Palais Garnier is probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur basilica. This is at least partly due to its use as the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel The Phantom of the Opera and the novel's subsequent adaptations in films and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular 1986 musical. Another contributing factor is that among the buildings constructed in Paris during the Second Empire, besides being the most expensive, it has been described as the only one that is unquestionably a masterpiece of the first rank."

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.
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.

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.

The tour of this amazing building was a highlight of our short time in Vienna, Austria. The Vienna State Opera House was built between 1861 and 1869. It was damaged by bombing in WWII but was restored to its former glory after the war. The main auditorium seats 1,709. The many other rooms in the building are all beautiful. This is the fresco on the ceiling in the entry hall titled "The Recognition" by the Viennese painter Franz Dobyaschofsky

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.

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.

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.
It's more than an Opera house.

Sydney Opera House - Feb 2007
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.”
