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.

After the opera by Catherine Abel. Oil on linen.
Marigold - living the life of the Belle Epoque - has returned from a sparkling night at the opera and is now seated in the library, having felt compelled to search for the book she clutches.
Is it the story of the opera she has just witnessed? Is it a collection of poetry she'll inscribe for the handsome gentleman who escorted her? Or does the book contain a deeper secret?

Interesting-looking streetlights outside Opéra Garnier.
I am here not only to window-shop Galeries Lafayette, but also locate the stop for Roissybus, the Paris city bus service (run by municipal mass transit agency, RATP) that runs nonstop to De Gaulle Airport; that is my chosen method for going to the airport next day to fly home, rather than the pickpocket-infested RER commuter trains or the expensive Air France coaches.
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.

Saigon Opera House or Ho Chi Minh Municipal Theater located at Le Loi Street. Built by the French at the end of the 19th century and renovated in the 1940’s, is a fine example of colonial architecture and is a landmark at the center of Saigon. No longer in use for European Opera but sometimes used for Vietnamese Music performances.
Wexford Opera House opened to the public in September 2008 and the first opera of the festival of that year was performed a month later. It opened on the site of the Theatre Royal which had existed on this site since 1832 and had been the home of the Wexford Festival Opera since its inception in 1951.
The ethos of the festival has been to stage relatively unknown or forgotten operas. The festival initially focused on Italian opera, particularly the works of Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, and the young Verdi, but has since widened its scope to other lesser-known works. Three operas are staged each year, providing a platform for young international singers to make their mark; Mirella Freni, Janet Baker, Geraint Evans, and Sergei Leiferkus are among those to have performed at this festival. The festival also features recitals, performances, and fringe events.

The Opera House in Budapest, Hungary is usually compared to those from Paris and Vienna. In the year 1884, Miklos Ybl finished the building that is now the centerpiece of Budapest, using a Neo-Renaissance idea. The money used to build this wonderful building was funded by Emperor Franz Josef throughout most of the construction. It was then and stills today the center for all music life throughout Hungary. Throughout the last one hundred years, the Opera House has housed Hungary’s best luminary artists from all of Europe.
The inside of the Opera House is filled with masterly frescoes to give it the architectural effect that it holds. Painters such as Mor Than, Bertalan Szekely, and Karoly Lotz are just a few of the artists featured. Some say that the wonder begins before the performances even start. The whole interior is made of gilt and marble, which makes the view so breathtaking. Large stair cases and enormous chandeliers are scattered throughout the building to add to the larger scale appeal.

On our way to London this week to see Tosca at Covent Garden. Angela Gheorghiu, due to sing the title role, pulled out at the last moment (as so often!) but she was more than competently replaced by the great Amanda Echalaz, and Vittorio Grigòlo was superb as Cavaradossi.
All in all the best Tosca either of us had ever seen.
The Palais Garnier Opera House was completed in 1875. Using a variety of materials, including white marble, the building is a beautiful composite of Baroque and Beaux-Arts Architecture.
A view of the Opera House from Circular Quay. The Opera Bar with the white umbrellas is also visible and probably one of my favourite bars in Sydney providing full views of the Harbour Bridge and North Sydney.
It is really hard to believe I've spent 23 years of my life in Sydney without appreciating its beauty until now. I think it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world but London still remains home for me, at least in the foreseeable future.

The Sydney Opera House is an expressionist modern design, with a series of large precast concrete 'shells', each taken from a hemisphere of the same radius, forming the roofs of the structure. The Opera House covers 1.8 hectares (4.5 acres) of land. It is 183 metres (605 feet) long and about 120 metres (388 feet) wide at its widest point. It is supported on 580 concrete piers sunk up to 25 metres below sea level. Its power supply is equivalent for a town of 25,000 people. The power is distributed by 645 kilometres of electrical cable.
The roofs of the House are covered with 1.056 million glossy white and matte cream Swedish-made tiles, though from a distance the tiles look only white. Despite their self-cleaning nature, they are still subject to periodic maintenance and replacement.
The Concert Hall and Opera Theatre are each contained in the two largest groups of shells, and the other theatres are located on the sides of the shell groupings. The form of the shells is chosen to reflect the internal height requirements, rising from the low entrance spaces, over the seating areas and up to the high stage towers. A much smaller group of shells set to one side of the Monumental steps and houses the Bennelong Restaurant.
Although the roof structures of the Sydney Opera House are commonly referred to as shells (as they are in this article), they are in fact not shells in a strictly structural sense, but are instead precast concrete panels supported by precast concrete ribs. The building's interior is composed of pink granite quarried in Tarana and wood and brush box plywood supplied from northern New South Wales.
A great suggestion by David Storey - I have added a custom privacy mode Face Gesture - to turn it on and off.

The Central City Opera House located in the National Historic Landmark District in Central City, Colorado, USA was constructed in 1878 by Welsh and Cornish miners.
In 1877, the citizens of Central City organized a fundraising drive for a grand new opera house befitting the gold mining town's reputation as "the richest square mile on earth." Many of the town's residents were Welsh and Cornish miners, who brought with them a rich tradition of music from their homeland. While locals pitched in during construction, the organizers also retained some of the best building professionals in the area. Denver architect Robert S. Roeschlaub provided an elegant, understated design for the stone structure, and San Francisco artist John C. Massman added elaborate trompe l'oeil murals to the interior. A creek flows through a flume under the Opera House.
The early glory years following the 1878 grand opening were short-lived. Musical and theatrical events appeared on its stage; Buffalo Bill performed here as well as P. T. Barnum’s circus. When the Central City mines were played out, the Opera House fell into disrepair.
In 1929 a dedicated band of Denver preservationists and music lovers formed the Central City Opera House Association and went to work to turn the spotlights back on. A volunteer-driven effort led by Ida Kruse McFarlane, Edna Chappell and Anne Evans led to an extensive restoration of the Opera House in 1932. That summer, actress Lillian Gish opened the newly restored opera house with Camille, launching an annual tradition of summer festivals in Central City that continues to this day.
It appears in the credits of the 1975 cowboy film, Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox as a site used in a scene where actress Goldie Hawn performs a dance routine.
Maintenance of the building again declined after the 1950s. In the 1980s and 1990s, the entire structure from top to below bottom (the foundation and the flume) has been restored, rebuilt, renewed or revamped, including replacement of the 1920-era lighting relic by a computerized lighting system.
In 1999 the wooden chairs were replaced with plush new theater seating. A memorial to the original chairs is on the grounds of the house. Continuing a tradition from 1932, many of the chairs commemorate Colorado pioneers, notable performers, and opera supporters. Illustrious names like Horace Tabor, Buffalo Bill Cody, Beverly Sills, and Lillian Gish are carved on the backs of the seats.
The opera house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973. (from Wikipedia)
