View from the Botanic Garden.
We walked through Hyde Park from Museum station, through Botanic Garden and then back via the State Library. About 10,000 steps, really enjoyable.

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...

Begun in Second Empire Paris and finished in the Belle Epoque, this building by Charles Garnier is one of the icons of Paris and probably the world's most famous opera house. The theatricality of the architecture and design of the public spaces made the show outside the audience hall as important as anything going on on stage.

"Built at 100 Main Street in Ansonia in 1869-1870, the Ansonia Opera House served as the lower Naugatuck Velley’s premier theater and public hall until the Sterling Opera House was built in Derby in 1889. The Ansonia Opera House’s hall is on the third floor of the building, while stores are located on the first floor. Until 1910, the hall was run by a corporation called the Ansonia Hall Company, in which Jeremiah Bartholomew and his descendants held a controlling interest.
Connecticut’s oldest opera house, for sixty years it was the center of Ansonia’s civic and social activity and entertainment, including graduations, dances, recitals, basketball games and boxing matches. Sometime after 1896, additional windows were added to the building‘s second floor. In 1971, the state fire marshal’s office closed the hall to public assemblies. It was later rented out as a gym and then as storage space and is currently in need of restoration."
The sun goes down on the city
It's like an explosion of light
Reflecting on the pavement and the walls.
Le ciel descend sur la ville
C'est comme une explosion de lumière
Se réflétant sur les murs et le sol...
