The exciting new opera house is located right on the waters of the Oslofjord; it was constructed between 2003 and 2007 and formally opened in 2008. It was designed by the Oslo architecture firm Snøhetta AS. In view is a wall that is part of the roof construction.
It has quickly become Oslo's most iconic building. The most intriguing aspect of its design is its roof construction. If reaches from the top of the building all the way to the waters of the Oslofjord. People can walk on the entire roof, and on a sunny day many locals lie on the sloped roof and work on a sun tan.

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.

The Opéra d'Avignon is an opera house located in Avignon, France that has been in operation for almost two centuries. The initial opera house was constructed in 1824–1825, and opened with its inaugural performance on 30 October 1825. The original opera house was destroyed in a fire on 26 January 1846. The current opera house was built in 1846–1847 and was designed by architects Léon Feuchère and Théodore Charpentier and was given historic buildings status in 1988

The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) is an opera house – and opera company – with a history dating back to the mid-19th century. It is located in the centre of Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera (Wiener Hofoper); in 1920, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra.
The building was the first major building on the Vienna Ringstraße commissioned by the controversial Viennese "city expansion fund". Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, who lived together in the 6. Bezirk. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style.
The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts. The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the necessary quantity was not deliverable. Breitenbrunner stone was suggested as a substitute for the Kelheimer stone, and stone from Jois was used as a cheaper alternative to the Kaiserstein. The staircases were constructed from polished Kaiserstein, while most of the rest of the interior was decorated with varieties of marble.
The decision was made to use dimension stone for the exterior of the building. Due to the monumental demand for stone, stone from Sóskút, widely used in Budapest, was also used. Three Viennese masonry companies were employed to supply enough masonry labour: Eduard Hauser (still in existence today), Anton Wasserburger and Moritz Pranter. The foundation stone was laid on May 20, 1863.

Last night was the opening night of the Met's new season with a gala performance of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. Jane (Fonda), Mary-Louise (Parker), Willem (Dafoe), Barbara (Walters), Walter (Cronkite), Charlie (Rose), Mike (Bloomberg), John (McEnroe), Plácido (Domingo) and many more... they were all there. And so was I ! Alright, alright: the gala crowd was in the opera house and schmucks like me were outside, on the plaza, enjoying the performance with a little breeze and sans chi-chi dresses. Ah, it's good to be frugal.
As part of the Metropolitan Opera’s new initiative to widen the appeal of opera, the Met broadcasted the entire performance in Times Square on a giant screen. The Met also presented a simultaneous outdoor broadcast of the performance in Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza. “We want to bring the Met to the heart of New York,” said Peter Gelb, the Met’s new General Manager.“This effort is symbolic of our plans to keep the Met connected to mainstream culture and contemporary life and will help build new audiences. Thousands will have the chance to see and hear our opening night performance who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.”
To read all about it, check out the MetBlog. Oh yes, those opera people are hip and cool: they have a blog, playlists on iTunes, rush tickets and Figaro who answers all your questions!
NB:
On the screen: Lucia learns from her secret lover Edgardo that he must to go to France defend his family honor, while she has to marry against her will to save her family's misfortune. Brrr...

This is the Grand Opera House located in Macon, Georgia. The Wikipedia entry on it states: "The Grand Opera House, often called The Grand and also known as Academy of Music, is a historic opera house located in Macon, Georgia, United States. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is currently operated as a performing arts center of Mercer University. Originally known as the Academy of Music, the Grand was built in 1883 and 1884 with the largest stage in the southeastern United States, outstanding lines-of sight and acoustics (both still notable today), and seats for 2,418, nearly a fifth of Macon's population at the time. The facade, a building located on Mulberry Street, was renovated in 1902, and the present seven-story office building facade opened in 1905. Since that time, the stage has seen numerous historic uses. Live horses and chariots appeared in an 1908 production of Ben-Hur. During World War I, actor Charlie Chaplin led the John Phillip Sousa band for a fundraising effort. According to the Grand's website, the theater has also hosted, among others, Sarah Bernhardt, Will Rogers, and George Burns and Gracie Allen. Some other famous performers to appear there include Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore, Bob Hope, the Allman Brothers Band, and Ray Charles. Magician Harry Houdini was also a featured player at the Grand, leaving a well-known legacy: the stage sports a number of trap doors, one of which remains operational and is used occasionally today in performances such as annual production of The Nutcracker ballet. Local lore claims that the trap doors were installed specifically for Houdini. In 1936, as the popularity of vaudeville waned, the Grand changed to a movie theater, hosting Macon's only Hollywood premiere, 1945's God is My Co-Pilot. However, by the 1960s, the Grand had ceased showing movies and plans were made to replace it with a parking lot. Those plans were blocked in 1967 by the Macon Arts Council, a group formed to save and restore the Grand. By 1970, the group had held a gala featuring the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and had the property placed on the National Register of Historic Places. (It was listed on the National Register in 1970. The Opera House was renovated and reopened as a live theater in 1969. (The second balcony, or peanut gallery, remained closed to the public and was dedicated to lighting equipment at this time, reducing the maximum seating to its current number of 1,030). Fund-raising efforts continued through the next several decades, with ongoing physical plant upgrades, with another renovation taking place in 1985. In 1995, Mercer University signed a lease with Bibb County to manage the Grand. Subsequently, Mercer has invested in upgrading the facility to modern standards as well as making it a fixture for community events. Today, the Grand hosts many Broadway touring companies, concerts (such as those of the Macon Symphony Orchestra, community theatre productions (including the aforementioned Nutcracker holiday show), and other performances and events."
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.
