Salle de spectacle / The Auditorium. Charles Garnier built the auditorium in the tradition of an Italian theatre. Shaped like a horseshoe, the stalls are overlooked by several tiers of boxes and balconies allowing as much to see as be seen

This Week in Bristol, Indiana 1-20-18. The Bristol Opera House, which has been home to the Elkhart Civic Theatre group since the 1960’s is looking to make some long planned renovations to significantly improve the theatre-going experience. For years, actors as well as audience members, have traveled to Bristol from around Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan to the theater originally built back in 1897. Currently, lobby space is limited, so they would like to put in new a concession stand and box office space and renovate the men's restroom to make it ADA compliant. The projected cost for the project is $110,000. The Elkhart County Foundation has given them a matching grant. The theatre group has currently raised about half of the money it needs to qualify for the matching grant.

From wikipedia :

"The Oslo Opera House (Norwegian: Operahuset) is the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The building is situated in the Bjørvika neighborhood of central Oslo, at the head of the Oslofjord.

 

It is operated by Statsbygg, the government agency which manages property for the Norwegian government. The structure contains 1,100 rooms in a total area of 38,500 m2 (414,000 sq ft). The main auditorium seats 1,364 seats and two other performance spaces that can seat 200 and 400. The main stage is 16 m (52 ft) wide and 40 m (130 ft) deep. The angled exterior surfaces of the building are covered with Italian marble and white granite and make it appear to rise from the water. It is the largest cultural building constructed in Norway since Nidarosdomen was completed circa 1300."

Lunenburg has an opera house. Who knew?

The ground-breaking of the Opera-Theatre took place on 28 November 1930 during the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of Soviet Armenia. The building was designed by the Armenian architect Alexander Tamanian in a neoclasical style, influenced by Soviet brutalist architecture. It was officially opened in 1933.

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.

Phantom of the Opera country. Totally OTT (but they should never have let Chagall near the ceiling).

Chinese Opera is a form of drama and musical theatre and has its roots going back as far as the third century. In Bangkok, Chinese opera is played at San Jao Sien Khong at Talaad Noi and other places during Chinese celebrations.

Oslo Opera House is undoubtedly one of the most striking examples of modern architecture that I have seen. It looks almost like a spaceship from Starwars!
