Well, I wanted to post some description about the roof and the construction of the opera, but I am a little lazy and the Wikipedia article (this is where I usually go for information) is too long. So please enjoy my pictures...
NYC Walkabout. MET Opera House @ 64th & Broadway.
(Plaza construction: I had to stand on a large plant pot, hold the camera over my head / over the fence, make one shot and get down before the guards came out).

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.
Nothing more to say, but it's really an amazing memo when you come to this place on the first time in real life. Far beyond the imagination, it's enormous, beautiful and very tidy.
In the basement of Covent Garden's central market, singers from the nearby Royal Opera House can often be found practicing their craft, entertaining those dining at the numerous cafes.

The eighth wonder of the world, some say.
A very impressive piece of architecture, 50 years old this year.
