Entrance to the teahouse.
Sichuan Opera - actually an amalgam of five styles - is famous as one of the major styles of Chinese traditional performance. It has ancient beginnings, dating from the Three Kingdoms period (220-280)
The ShuFeng YaYun Teahouse was the place where opera stars traditionally gathered, now it's just a venue for performance. However it is still run as a teahouse - you sit in small groups round a table where tea is served, and replenished by an attendant from a teapot with a metre long spout, ideal for reachingto the back of the table. Also a plate of crystal dumplings to nibble on during the performance. Apparently if you get a VIP seat, ear cleaning is also included! Presumably all the better to hear the singing.
The varied origin was pretty evident in the performance. Lots and lots of variety. Music, puppetry, dance, song, acting, acrobatics, shadow play,comedy, fire breathing and face changing, the most famous and spectacular of all. Somehow, in a split second, one mask is changed with another, and back again just as quickly. How it's done is a closely guarded secret!

The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who in 2003 received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honor.
The Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007.[2] It is one of the world's most distinctive 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. As well as many touring theatre, ballet, and musical productions, the Opera House is a major presenting venue for Opera Australia, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony. It is administered by the Sydney Opera House Trust, under the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts.
The Opera House at the end of My Fair Lady. The audience gave it a standing ovation, which came as a surprise given some of the perfunctory applause I had thought I had heard during the show. But I guess in a way ovations themselves have become perfunctory. The show was fun, though it had more polish than pulse. Some busy staging (juggling?!) reminded me of my own high school theatre. The score of course is one of the best in Broadway's canon, and this production performed admirably, even if it meant borrowing bits from Cabaret, Mary Poppins, and Stomp.

Opera House carved into front of the McPherson Opera House. The McPherson Opera House was built in 1888 at the cost of $42,000.
National Register #72001452. Added in 1972.
Construction of the New Opera House began in mid 2002. Commencement of the foundations using BarChip Shogun began in 2004.
The new Opera House will be situated partly on land and partly over water. This has significant consequences related to the foundation design, handling of polluted soil, control of moisture and, not least, the building water tightness.
The foundations required some 28,000 lineal metres of piles to act as supporting elements for the building above. The piles vary in length and can reach up to 55 metres below the water surface before meeting stable bedrock.
BarChip Shogun structural synthetic fibre was chosen for this significant project to provide a cost effective solution to the insitu pile reinforcement. BarChip’s high performance and long term durability for combatting the demanding marine environment were critical factors in this decision.
Dosed at 5 kg/m3, 3,000 m3 of concrete was reinforced with approximately 15 tonnes of BarChip Shogun structural fibres.
