Took this along the walkway around the Park Hyatt Hotel. I had heard that the Pacific Jewel, the cruise boat we were due to board later in the day, was due to dock around 7am. I was up ealy and at Circular Quay before then ready to get some photos of it passing the Opera House and going under the bridge. I was sure I had not missed it and that it was running a bit late so walked around this area taking plenty of photos of the Opera House from many different angles while I waited. I saw the reflection in the glass of this hotel on my third walk along this boardwalk.
It turned out the boat had docked ahead of schedule so I had missed it.
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.
I have tried to shoot this structure of incredible beauty for many years. But every time I didn’t have a sky that was worth competing with the beauty of the Opera House. Then things came together one day and I was there to shoot.
Hope you like it!

Sydney, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
The Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of 20th-century architecture and one of the most famous buildings in the world. Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, its construction began in 1959 and it was inaugurated in 1973. Its iconic design, with its distinctive white "shells," evokes the sails of a ship in Sydney Harbour. Since its opening, the building has become a major performing arts center, featuring multiple theaters and concert halls. The Sydney Opera House is a symbol of the city and a meeting point for culture.

I was fortunate enough to meet up with a friend of mine; Iain, whom I had met in Cairo a few years ago. He lives in Sydney, and when I visited, we went on a photo shoot around the Opera House.
Dear friends, thanks for your visit and support. It is appreciated! :)

La Ópera Garnier, también conocida como Palacio Garnier u Ópera de París, es uno de los edificios más característicos del IX Distrito de París y del paisaje urbano de la capital francesa. Napoleón III ordenó su construcción al arquitecto Charles Garnier, quien lo diseñó en Estilo Imperio.
Desde su inauguración en 1875, la ópera fue llamada oficialmente Academia Nacional de Música-Teatro de la Ópera. Conservó su título hasta 1978, cuando fue renombrada Teatro Nacional de la Ópera de París. En 1989 la Compañía de la Ópera trasladó su sede al recién construido Teatro de la Bastilla y su vieja sede recibió el nombre de Palacio Garnier, donde permanece la Academia Nacional de Música. A pesar del cambio de nombre oficial y del traslado de la Compañía de la Ópera, el Palacio Garnier sigue siendo conocido popularmente por el nombre de Ópera de Garnier en París.
The Garnier Opera, also known as the Garnier Palace or the Paris Opera, is one of the most characteristic buildings of the IX District of Paris and the urban landscape of the French capital. Napoleon III ordered its construction to the architect Charles Garnier, who designed it in Empire Style.
Since its inauguration in 1875, the opera was officially called the National Academy of Music-Opera House. It retained its title until 1978, when it was renamed National Opera House in Paris. In 1989 the Opera Company moved its headquarters to the newly built Bastille Theater and its old headquarters was named Garnier Palace, where the National Academy of Music remains. Despite the change of official name and the transfer of the Opera Company, the Garnier Palace is still popularly known by the name of Opera de Garnier in Paris.
