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.

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.
The Copenhagen Opera House is a donation from the A.P. Møller and Chastine McKinney Møller Foundation to the Danish people. It totals 41,000 square metres. Five of the fourteen storeys are subterranean. The main stage of the opera seats an audience of 1400.
The Opera House is clad with southern German Jura Gelb limestone, and the foyer features Sicilian Perlatino marble. The wall of the auditorium facing the foyer is clad with maple wood, and the ceiling in the main auditorium is adorned with 105,000 sheets of 24 carat gold leaf, equivalent to 1.5 kilos of gold.
The Copenhagen Opera House is designed by Danish architect Henning Larsen, and a number of Danish artists have contributed to the decor, among them Per Kirkeby who has created four bronze reliefs, and Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson who has contributed the three light sculptures for the foyer.

COPENHAGA (Dinamarca): Casa da Ópera.
Casa de Ópera de Copenhaga (português europeu) (em dinamarquês:Operaen) é a sede da ópera nacional da Dinamarca e uma das casas destinadas a música mais modernas do planeta. A Operaen é considerada a casa de ópera mais cara já construída. Foi erguida na ilha de Holmen com um custo total de mais de 500 milhões de dólares.
A Operaen, propositalmente, fica exatamente na direção do Palácio de Amalienborg e da Igreja de Mármore. A porção da ilha de Holmen, onde a ópera foi construída chama-se Dokøen (Ilha das Docas, em português), um antiga e tradicional porto da cidade de Copenhaga. A Operaen pode ser acessada através dos serviços de autocarros e metro, além de algumas balsas que partem do Porto da cidade.

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...
