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.
This design always interested me, and I spent a lot of the next 36 hours I was in Sydney exploring it.

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

The Washington National Opera simulcast their season premier of La Traviata to the jumbotron at Nationals Stadium. Admission was free. Fun was had.
this is one of eight masks that would be sent out with the mailer as a non-traditional promotion piece. the face is of one of the characters of one of the eight operas. it's just a paper mask that you tie on with string and there are little holes poked out of the eyes. on the reverse side there would be type that would explain the character and then have details on when the play is.
the masks play into the theatrical part of the opera and hope to inspire the audience to play around with the masks rather than their tv.
