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.
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
It was made as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. Wikipedia

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.

She studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory (with Alexander had supposed - we interviewed him) and sings in many European countries. And on the street it is difficult to find because of the opera singers (and even on the conductors) always think they are a huge growth - those who are on the scene, always a cut above those in the audience. In fact, in art, everything is a little different than we think.
Liubov BELOTSERKOVSKAYA:
THREE "THANK YOU"
THREE "LOVE"
JUNIOR CLASSES AND ITALY
As the concert began a stormy life?
Long ago, with lessons on the piano. We went with my parents at the two international competition, and even occupied. They had the euphoria - hurray, our child will be a musician. Then it all started. Why tumultuous life? Interventions require daily activities; stormy life - it is rough work. I was five years old started practicing the piano, and won the first contest, it seems, at nine. Four years of painstaking training, and you're the first prize winner, so anything is possible.
They say that musicians do not have child ...
Of course, nothing is achieved without difficulty, but in the nine years I have visited in Italy. In the class asked me: "Well, how is it? .."
Jealous, I guess.
Respected.
PLAYER AND GERGIEV
The first "LOVE"
And listen to what music?
The player I have a classic. Sometimes I like listening to soundtracks to old Hollywood movies, Japanese movies and cartoons - when they are recorded with a symphony orchestra. We have a branch in St. Petersburg, directing - they love to put this music dance and other activities, and they want me and supply it. In general, modern classical authors in Russia are not enough. But we have an interesting cable channel "Mezzo", which sometimes show, for example, the modern opera productions. At the Mariinsky Theatre in "White Nights" has been modernized production of Wagner, a special interest to obtain "Tristan und Isolde." This concert was staged without costumes. Behind a screen, which aired video. It was very organic, with foreign soloists. And he knows how to be an organic Gergiev - no vulgarity, no inconsistencies: the music of Wagner, is a modern video director, they may be together.
AFTERNOON IN VENICE
SECOND "LOVE"
Tell us about the last competition.
The contest was held from 2 to 6 July in Padua ...
I really wanted to swim in the sea. We just drove by bus from Venice to Padua on a large bridge across the sea. It was a dream to go out and swim, but no one was swimming - nobody knows where they are the beaches.
Local does not disclose a secret?
No. They are tan, lying in the park, as we have in St. Petersburg, and swimming near Venice itself is prohibited, there is a company and the water is probably not very clean. And somewhere else on the beaches they are, I think, go on the weekends. And on weekends the city is empty, do not ask anyone. On Sunday, Italy dies, everything is closed, the scene of the western: noon, the streets are empty.
And how is it?
If you look at the city as a whole, and not inside the buildings - murals, paintings - you need to go back to the carnival or winter. Very hot, stagnant water in the canals. The town is small, very beautiful and very unique. He did not like Padua, bears no resemblance to Venice Mestre, which is on land.
In September I went to three concerts in Holland - this is my favorite country. I was in Harlem, in Amsterdam. The same North Sea, in St. Petersburg in St. Petersburg but if I'm sick and there, in Holland, I'm getting better.
There is a special student. People go to the festival films in small towns. They can go to another city just to listen to it a new opera production. Which one of us would go for this, for example, in St. Petersburg?
VERY HIGH CEILINGS
Those who organize the tours and help along the way and relax?
Trying to help. And sometimes it turns out to combine - some of the concerts are very beautiful. For example, we sang in Venice in the Palazzo Dzakko - a small feudal mansion, but he is built like a Venetian palace, with a through passage to the garden with fountains - you can have fun and seeing a building.
Or ancient European cathedrals - great place. And sing, and watch.
Speakers like?
Yes, there is fertile acoustics, especially for slow pieces. The church works often slow. Musicians are joking, "wrote potatoes" whole empty notes. Perhaps it sounds worse than a quick product: the sound goes, there is too much reverberation. And so - excellent acoustics, no need to give away, you can easily sing piano. The older church - the better acoustics.
In the old European cathedrals had to sing?
In the Netherlands - in Harlem, and in Germany, in a historic cathedral - it was just a charity concert to raise funds for its restoration of the frescoes. Speakers there was phenomenal.
HVOROSTOVSKY AND MICROPHONE
A popular in Europe, outdoor concerts, where artists are at ease - it's more complex form of speech?
This can be explained by the fact that people come to Europe to enjoy a classical concert, they need to show. Now all aimed at making the show, so there are artists like Hvorostovsky - and they can see and hear - artists like Netrebko.
On the other hand, a form of a concert close to the theater: you can run around the stage, gesticulating. A character embodied in the theater - it is easier than being in a concert.
Why do we have such a form of concerts are not held?
Maybe artists are afraid of themselves? We have no such equipment, as in the West. Maybe you noticed - at these concerts, singing into a microphone. But the microphone is not like our pop stars, and made especially for them, perceiving other frequencies. We have the technology there is little, only in Moscow, where, incidentally, had already arranged the speeches. For example, on the Sparrow Hills - May 9, Hvorostovsky sang it. There is, of course, were of good quality microphones. But I think that as long as the necessary equipment becomes more widespread, the practice shows such a plan even if enthusiasts will spread very slowly.
PARIS - TOKYO
THIRD "LOVE"
Plans for the far-distant future?
In Japan, the same has always been my dream to go, so heard-read about it - Ovichinnikova and other Orientalists. In short, I want to go there.
Invite?
There are clues, but let's see what time will tell.
And what promise to be the embodiment of dreams?
The biggest dream is to be realized in December - a concert in Paris.
In Paris the first time? And - what?
Of course, at Notre Dame. Walking on the Cité. Maybe even go to the cemetery. We will implement the plan, which is in the movie "Paris, je t'aime."
Maybe I'll see Paris and die.
PODVERSTKA: three "thank you"
After the interview Liubov Belotserkovskaya asked to convey my gratitude to my teacher, Tamara Novichenko. It Honored Artist of Russia and the professor. And yet - the parents and accompanists.
