The Leipzig Opera (in German: Oper Leipzig) is an opera house and opera company in Leipzig, Germany.
The Leipzig Opera traces its establishment to the year 1693, making it the third oldest opera venue in Europe after La Fenice (Venice, Italy) and the Hamburg State Opera (Hamburg, Germany). The director of many of those early operas was Telemann.
The Leipzig Opera does not have its own opera orchestra, and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra performs as the orchestra for the opera. This relationship dates back to 1766, with performances of the Singspiel Die verwandelten Weiber, oder Der Teufel ist los by Johann Adam Hiller.
Construction of the modern opera house began in 1956. The theatre was inaugurated on October 8, 1960, with a performance of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
In May 2008, the appointments of Alexander von Maravic as Artistic Director (Intendant) and Peter Konwitschny as principal director of productions at Leipzig Opera were announced. The current Generalmusikdirektor (General Music Director, or GMD) of Oper Leipzig is Ulf Schirmer, effective with the 2009-2010 season.[1]
Le premier casino fut construit à la demande de Napoléon III en 1864-1865 par l'architecte Charles Badger, architecte de la Compagnie fermière de Vichy. Il est inauguré le 2 juillet 1865. Étendu au début du xxe siècle, à l'emplacement du kiosque à musique de 1866, celui est déplacé sur la place de la République (il sera détruit en 1935 pour la construction de la Poste). Aïda, de Verdi, était le premier opéra donné en inauguration du théâtre. Inauguré d'abord le 2 juin 1901, l'intégralité de cet édifice ne le sera que le 31 mars 1903, après l'achèvement des décorations intérieures de l'opéra, avec l'appui des architectes français Charles Le Cœur et belge Lucien Woog.
La salle, de style Art nouveau, d'une capacité de 1 482 sièges, est décorée par le peintre polonais Léon Rudnicki. La voûte de la coupole du dôme est ornée de visages d'artistes : Sarah Bernhardt, Réjane, Coquelin, Cléo de Mérode, Mounet-Sully. Les ferronneries, les trois portes, balustrades et rampes, sont d'Émile Robert.
Les masques sont du sculpteur Pierre Seguin.
L'édifice est inscrit aux monuments historiques le 13 août 1991, notamment pour le hall d'entrée et la grande galerie et classé le 18 mars 1996 pour la salle du théâtre avec les galeries et le vestibule, les salles et les déambulatoires de l'ancienne salle de jeux.
Ce monument est le seul théâtre de style « Art nouveau » en France. Vichy était connue entre 1901 et 1964 sous le nom de « capitale d'été de la musique ».
Dans les années 1930, plus de 90 représentations étaient données chaque été. En juillet 1940, le gouvernement Pétain s'installe à Vichy et la salle de l'opéra est le théâtre du vote des pleins pouvoirs par les parlementaires.
Dans la seconde moitié du xxe siècle, outre le déclin du thermalisme et donc des visiteurs, l'activité de l'opéra va aussi diminuer, avec la disparition des orchestres et des troupes en résidence.
Un incendie ravage l'opéra en 1986. La ville de Vichy acquiert l'édifice l'année suivante et le restaure en 1995, profitant des travaux pour installer le chauffage dans l'opéra et ainsi permettre d'ouvrir une saison d'hiver.
In all my years taking photos, I have not been down to the harbour at sunrise for a photo shoot. Today was a first, shooting the Opera House as the sun rose. This is about 20 minutes before sunrise, shot from Dawes Point. While it wasn't a spectacular morning in terms of light, it was great being out with the Focus group.

From the Opera Comique in 1925 ~ an advertisement from Rigaud Parfumeur of 16, Rue de la Paix, Paris.
In 1914 Henri Rigaud had became sole proprietor of the business and named it simply “Rigaud.” For the occasion, he launched the famous perfume “Un Air Embaumé.”
To illustrate the advertisements, the photographer Mady’s portrayed Mlle Fabrice kneeling respectfully before a perfume bottle.

Hougang Dou Mu Gong 后港斗母宫 is probably one of the oldest temple dedicated to Dou Mu 斗母and Jiu Wang Da Di 九王大帝(Nine Emperor Gods). Situated at Upper Serangoon Road, close to the Yio Chu Kang Road, this temple comes "alive" from the first to the ninth day of the 9th Lunar Month each year.
Traditionally, this temple would go to Kuala Lumpur to receive the "Xiang Huo" and to Serangoon River to receive the Nine Emperor Gods. For devotees involved in the events of these Nine Days, they have to go on vegetarian diet.

Legend of the Nine Emperor Gods
The Nine Emperor Gods (called “Jiu Wang Ye 九王爷” in Singapore and Malaysia) actually refer to the “Jiu Huang Da Di 九皇大帝” (The Nine Great Emperors) in the Taoist deities system (Taoist Patheon).
The birth of the Nine Emperors happened to be on the 9th of September in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and this day was often celebrated as the festival of “Jiu Huang 九皇” by the Taoist in Singapore and Malaysia.
The Nine Emperor Gods are very often known as “Bei Dou Jiu Xing 北斗九星” (9 North Star Plough Gods), since they are Gods of the stars or planets. Their mother, “Dou Mu Yuan Jun 斗母元君” (Mother North Star), is also the Mother of Stars.
The Nine Emperor Gods consist of the following:
1. “Gou Chen Tian Huang Da Di 勾陈天皇大帝” (Vega Star)
2. “Bei Ji Zhi Wei Da Di 北极紫微大帝” (Polaris Star)
3. The 7 Northern Constellation Stars (called “Bei Dou Qi Xing 北斗七星”):
a. “Tan Lang 贪狼”
b. “Ju Meng 巨门”
c. “Lu Chun 禄存”
d. “Wen Qu 文曲”
e. “Lian Zhen 廉贞”
f. “Wu Qu 武曲”
g. “Po Jun 破军”
The origin of the Nine Emperor Gods can be traced back to the Taoist worship of the Northern constellation during Qin and Han Dynasty (北斗崇祀). Actually, the observation and worshipping of stars had already been present among the public before Taoism was founded during Han Dynasty.
As Taoism was developed during Han Dynasty, it began to absorb this practice of worshipping the stars and began to deitify them as Gods.
Thanks for visiting! Have a great day! Will try to catch up asap!
