Opera Make-Up is a skill that the actor/actress has to master. More often than not, there is no make-up artist avaiable.

The Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall and the Alexander Spendiaryan Opera and Ballet National Academic Theatre both make up one huge building which most locals simply refer to as the Opera building. It is in the heart of Yerevan, right between Cascade and Republic Square.
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.
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.

She had just arrived from Germany and was photographing the harbour from the opera theater promenade.
I explained that Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was on, but it took several attempts for her to understand that I was speaking a German name in English, until it dawned, "Ah Mozart, yes I know him!"
It was a wonderful performance, Don Giovanni with Teddy Tahu Rhodes.

I don't know what possessed me to do this but a couple of years ago I came up with this design for a t-shrit. I had been listening to a lot of Wagner.
At the time I was a bit tired of people trying to foist their questionable cultural values upon me with their innane t-shirt messages so I said to myself "If I have to look at your stupid t-shirts then you will have to look at mine."
So I had one printed up. No one evers asked about it. I think they were afraid.

Phantom of the Opera country. Totally OTT (but they should never have let Chagall near the ceiling).
Piper's second opera house in various stages of disrepair... it was used as a basketball court at one time! Victoria and I went to see R. Carlos Nakai play here a few years back... It was a very enjoyable Native American flute performance. His web page is here: www.rcarlosnakai.com/
Louis Moreau Gottschalk played at the original opera house I believe. Here is what he thought about Virginia City in 1865: "The town is ugly, built of wood on rough ground. The streets are steep and irregular. The cafés are numerous. The music store is a shoemaker's shop, two-thirds of which is filled with boots and the rest with drawers and loose sheets of music, which would seem to prove that the population walks more over the rugged soil of the town than on the road florid with art. It is not truly to speak a town, it has rather the appearance of one of those European fairs, which once a year attract for two months merchants and purchasers from the four points of the horizon. The dust blinds when it does not choke you, and vice versâ, and both at once. Shut up in the midst of steep mountains, the sight perceives as far as it can extend only the gray tints of the arid soil, or the sombre masses of the sage, the only vegetable that grows. It is meagre, sad, mean, and monotonous. I have never really known spleen save in Virginia City. It is the most inhospitable and the saddest town that I have ever visited. I have passed eleven days here, during which I have given three concerts. I have not received from the inhabitants one invitation, not one visit, nor any mark of distinction. I fortunately found here a family from New Orleans, whom the vicissitudes of fortune have temporarily banished here, and a young Louisianian, who, by their interest, sometimes contributed to dissipate the ennui of my isolation....
Alf Doten mentions him in his diary entry of June 6th: Evening I attended the
second one of Gottschalk's concerts . . . Miss Lucy Simmons sings with him. He appears to be the greatest pianist in the world. He certainly is the greatest I ever heard." This an excerpt from a book I wrote a few years back. Here is a photo of the cover: www.flickr.com/photos/owlsplace/801024084/in/set-72157600...
Back to the most beautiful opera house I've ever seen! October 2nd, 2012. With Horizon Perfekt and Tungsten
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 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.
