Sterling Opera House
Derby, CT
On April 2, 1889 the doors of the Sterling Opera House were opened to the public. It was designed by Italianate Victorian style architect H. Edwards Ficken, who also was co-designer of the famous Carnegie Hall located in Manhattan, NY. It was built to serve both political and entertainment needs.
The lower two levels and the basement were actually the town's City Hall and police station from when it opened up until 1965.
The auditorium was used for hundreds of shows and live musical performances in its day. In fact, many world famous performers such as Harry Houdini and Red Skelton took the stage at Sterling. Shows were held up until 1945 when the curtain closed for the last time.
The Sterling Opera House was also later recognized as a historic place with historic value when it became the first building in CT to be added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1968.

The ship is the ferry to Denmark, and the object to the left of the image is a permanent public sculpture called "She Lies" (Norwegian: hun ligger) by the artist Monica Bonvicini, made of stainless steel and glass panels. It floats on the water on its concrete platform and turns on its axis in response to the tide and wind.

While I was in Covent Garden this morning, there was an operatic performance going on in the square, both inside and outside one of the shops- I'm not certain what opera they were performing,as I'm no expert, but I think it may have been Carmen, which would make these Carmen and Escamillo.
Whatever it was, I thouroughly enjoyed it, despite not understanding a word they were singing - you didn't need to know the words, as the acting was superb, and told the story by itself...
