Opera Toilet - with music! This was in a shopping area that was in the pedestrian underpass near the Opera House. When I passed, it was playing the Blue Danube. :-)

Grand escalier / The grand stairway. Charles Garnier long reflected on the design of the Grand Stairway for the new Opera. In the end, he drew inspiration from the Grand-Thétre in Bordeaux. The steps, which go from concave to convex, are made of white marble from Seravezza (Italy). They hug the curve of the onyx balustrade, the pedestal of which is in green marble from Sweden and the 128 balusters in antique red marble

Built in 1888, the McPherson Opera House was considered one of the most elaborate and architecturally sound in the state. This three-story architectural showpiece, listed on the National Register of Historic Places had a seating capacity of 900 and was, and remains, accoustically perfect. The stately exterior had molded brick trim, varied limestone arches and cornice treatments, and an impressive South entrance flanked by granite columns and enhanced with colored glass. The building is Eclectic/Victorian style with many kinds of decorative brick. The building was lighted by electricity, a technological advancement for its time. The seating areas included the dress circle, parquet, the gallery and two box seats and the original stage curtains, chairs, and carpeting were predominately red.
