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.
Do you see the rotund man holding his arms out to his side singing opera? That is what I see, not a pussy willow bud. Have a great Tuesday.
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!

Bloody pants from "super" work in the opera Elektra with the Austin Lyric Opera. I'm killed at the end.

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.

The Portland Opera occasionally invites cartoonists to come sketch their impressions of a new show.
This round was Puccini's Turandot.
The set was VERY purple!

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

Hasta 1920 se llamó "Ópera de la Corte de Viena".
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.

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.
