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.

Die Opéra Garnier, auch Palais Garnier genannt, ist eines der zwei Pariser Opernhäuser, die der staatlichen Institution Opéra National de Paris unterstehen. Die Opéra Garnier wurde 1875 eröffnet und liegt am rechten Seineufer im 9. Arrondissement. Ihren Namen verdankt sie ihrem Erbauer Charles Garnier. Seit der Eröffnung der Opéra Bastille im Jahre 1989 wird die Opéra Garnier hauptsächlich für Ballettaufführungen des hauseigenen Ballettensembles Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris genutzt, führt aber nach wie vor auch klassische Opern auf.

The Boston Opera House, also known as the Citizens Bank Opera House,[1] is a performing arts and esports venue located at 539 Washington St. in Boston, Massachusetts. It was originally built as the B.F. Keith Memorial Theatre, a movie palace in the Keith-Albee chain. The chain became part of RKO when it was established just before the theater opened on October 29, 1928, and it was also known as the RKO Keith's Theater. After operating for more than 50 years as a movie theater, it was rededicated in 1980 as a home for the Opera Company of Boston, which performed there until the opera company closed down in 1990 due to financial problems. The theater was reopened in 2004 after a major restoration, and it currently serves as the home of the Boston Ballet and also hosts touring Broadway shows. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Opera_House

Tokyo Plastic produces some of the most amazing flash animations I've ever seen -- the music, the art, everything meshes into an amazing whole. Their first toy, the Kokeshi (geisha) doll figure, was incredibly well-received with the various colorways selling out in a flash. Opera Dude is the lastest Tokyo Plastic character to make the jump to 3D.
