From the French colonial times stands the rather ornate Opera House, at which we went to see some Vietnamese dancing, which, although not our usual cup-o-tea was very entertaining!!
The Sydney Opera House, situated on Sydney Harbour at Bennelong Point, is considered by many to be one of the wonders of the modern world.
Designed by Jørn Utzon and constructed under some controversy, it was opened in October 1973.
Designed by one of my favorite woman architect Zaha Hadid, the Guangzhou Opera House is a stunning architecture that sits pompously at the heart of Guangzhou and opens to the Pearl River.The design is greatly influenced by the river valleys and the natural landscape.The famous "double pebble" concept tells the story of the two massive boulders that go through the process of erosion;an interplay between architecture and landscape.The whole project took about 5 years to finish and has now become one of Guangzhou's most celebrated architectural wonders. I have always wanted to capture this building with my lens and I finally did.
Sydney Opera House, taken from a boat on the harbour at dusk. I loved the light, and hoped a slow shutter speed wouldn't cause *too* much blur. As it turned out, I was wrong, but camera shake made for an abstract shot.

Boy oh boy was there some height to this place! Tiny mushroom legs are getting stronger! Too bad all I want to do is lounge around and talk to the grapevines. They have the best gossip!

This might look similar to the National Theatre in Costa Rica but it's the Semperoper (Saxon State Opera) in Dresden. I took the chance to do a guided tour there and it was really impressive.
These are some of the pictures I could take.

In Dresden habe ich auch die Semperoper besichtigt. Erinnert ein bisschen an das Teatro National in Costa Rica, aber es ist irgendwie doch anders. Aber eben auch sehr sehr beeindruckend. Diese Fotos hier konnte ich während der Führung machen.

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the facility is adjacent to the Sydney central business district and the Royal Botanic Gardens, between Sydney and Farm Coves.
Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the facility formally opened on 20 October 1973[3] after a gestation beginning with Utzon's 1957 selection as winner of an international design competition. The NSW Government, led by Premier Joseph Cahill authorised work to begin in 1958, with Utzon directing construction. The government's decision to build Utzon's design is often overshadowed by circumstances that followed, including cost and scheduling overruns as well as the architect's ultimate resignation.[4]
Though its name suggests a single venue, the project comprises multiple performance venues which together are among the busiest performing arts centres in the world — hosting over 1,500 performances each year attended by some 1.2 million people. The venues produce and present a wide range of in-house productions and accommodate numerous performing arts companies, including four key resident companies: Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. As one of the most popular visitor attractions in Australia, more than seven million people visit the site each year, with 300,000 people participating annually in a guided tour of the facility.[5][6]
Identified as one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world,[7][8][9] the facility is managed by the Sydney Opera House Trust, under the auspices of the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts.
The Sydney Opera House became a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007
