Charles Garnier's was the architect. Classical and Baroque styles. Construction began in 1862 and opened on 5 January 1875. Located in the Opéra quarter at Place de l'Opéra. Paris, France.
here is the aforementioned opera house.
apparently my dad really liked opera. likes. never been able to get into it myself. granted, the opera house was a lot more architecturally engaging that his old apartment building.
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.
a reasonably elegant opera building merges into a decaying landscape, not dissimilar to contemporary architectures.

Yes, you read that sign correctly. Opera came to Canton tonight. Thanks to the Piatigorsky Foundation and private donors for making it possible. Our performers this evening, Raquela Sheeran (Soprano) and Jeffrey Grossman (piano) put on a wonderful demonstration of talent. They performed everything from Italian opera to spirituals to jazz piano. I will never cease to love hearing a soprano effortlessly hit those amazing notes. I think everyone's favorite piece was the closing number "A Word On My Ear" which was a hilarious piece about a tone deaf diva. That piece was amazing because often it is much harder to hit the WRONG note (by a half step) than it is to hit the right note!
Happily Canton's population turned out for the event. Only a handful of seats were empty and everyone enjoyed a wine and cheese reception before the show.
