Hungarian State Opera House (Magyar Állami Operaház), Budapest. The auditorium is of modest size - seating just over 1,250 - but its great beauty and excellent acoustics make it one of the great opera houses of the world.

That machine is unplugged. In fact, it's always unplugged at Opera Gallery NYC, even though it is meant to be a playable arcade game by Faile and Bast. It was an effort by Faile and Bast to liven up stuffy galleries, but Opera basically killed the piece.

Opera is a gorgeous Husky/Australian Shepherd mix. She has clear blue eyes from her Husky side and a short, docked tail from her Australian Shepherd genes. She's sweet and affectionate and loves everyone she meets, human or canine. She also is submissive with other dogs and can often be found on the bottom of the "dog-pile" at play time. She has lived with cats for a short period of time and ignored them for the most part; she actually seems kind of scared of them! Opera is doing very well with house-training, she walks well on a leash, and she knows to sit for her treats. She is also good with children. Opera's favorite activities involve playing, chewing on bones, and playing some more! While Opera is not particularly high energy, she tends to get bored easily and would do best in a home with another dog her size to romp around with. She's a smart, charming girl, who would love to be in a home with dogs and people who adore her. (IMG_3444a)
The Opera House Theatre is a theatre in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It is located within the Winter Gardens, a large entertainment complex in the town centre and originally opened in 1889, although it has been rebuilt twice, in 1910 and 1939.
As part of the Winter Gardens, the theatre is a Grade II Listed Building. It is operated by Crown Leisure Ltd, on behalf of Blackpool Council, who purchased the property from Leisure Parcs Ltd as part of a £40 million deal in 2010. The opera house is considered one of the finest theatres in Europe.
The Opera House Theatre is one of the largest theatres in the United Kingdom. The present theatre is the third such structure to have been built on the site.
The original building, completed in 1889, at a cost of £9,098 was designed by the theatre architect Frank Matcham, who also designed the nearby Grand Theatre and the Tower Ballroom. It had 2,500 seats, and was named Her Majesty’s Opera House. The first performance at the theatre was Gilbert and Sullivan's new Savoy opera, The Yeomen of the Guard on 10 June 1889.
The theatre's seating capacity was soon considered insufficient and in November 1910 was closed for reconstruction. The new and larger building, by architects Mangnall and Littlewood, formally opened just nine months later. However, in 1938 the second Opera House was demolished and the present 3,000-seat theatre opened in 1939. It was designed in a modernist style with a sweepingly curved proscenium. A Wurlitzer organ was installed to the design of Horace Finch and he and Reginald Dixon played on the opening night. It was the last new Wurlitzer organ to be installed in the UK and it is still in regular use today. The new Opera House was opened on 14 July 1939 by actress Jessie Matthews and her husband, actor and director Sonnie Hale. The first performance followed – the revue Turned Out Nice Again, starring George Formby.
The first Royal Variety Performance to be held outside London was staged at the Opera House on 13 April 1955. Compèred by Jack Hylton and held in the presence of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. Performers included Arthur Askey, Morecambe and Wise, The Crazy Gang, Reginald Dixon at the Wurlitzer organ, Joan Regan, Alma Cogan, George Formby, Beryl Grey, John Field, Flanagan and Allen and Charlie Cairoli.
On 7 December 2009, the 81st Royal Variety Performance was again staged at the theatre in the presence of The Queen, and compèred by Peter Kay. The performers included Lady Gaga, Michael Bublé, Alexandra Burke, Diversity, Hal Cruttenden, Miley Cyrus, Whoopi Goldberg, Adam Hills, Bob Golding as Eric Morecambe, Les 7 Doights de la Main, Katherine Jenkins, Jason Manford, Pilobolus Dancers, Mika, Bette Midler, André Rieu, Faryl Smith, Paul Zerdin – also the Heavy Cavalry and Cambrai Band, the cast of Sister Act the Musical, with Whoopi Goldberg and the cast of Here Come the Girls; Anastacia, Lulu and Chaka Khan.
The Opera House Theatre hosts many theatrical performances in addition to variety shows and music concerts. It serves as a stage during the Rebellion Festival, a punk rock festival held at the Winter Gardens each year.
Current capacity is 2,813 consisting of 1,401 stall seats, 758 balcony seats and 654 seats in the circle. [Wikipedia]
One of my personal favourites, shot with the trusty Fuji 1400. A very cold day on the parvis of the Sacre Coeur, with some heavy pollution obscuring the view of the city.
Kept Under Glass: Unheard Women's Voices was a performance on 5/5/21 at the Whitman-Walker Corner, sponsored by the Goethe-Institut, the Austrian Cultural Forum, IN Series Opera Company, and Spooky Action Theater. Three opera singers sang in different bay windows, with the audience standing outside on the sidewalk. They sang a spectrum of under-represented German and Austrian women's works from across eight centuries, with some of the translated lyrics, singers's faces, and other visuals projected on the building.
Lviv’s opera house, also known as the Lviv State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre of Solomiya Krushelnytska, is unique in that it is built on top of the Poltva River, which flows beneath the stage. The Opera House was completed in 1900 and began to sink right away, but settled in the decades that followed.
