Opera en el Ópera.
Jalé la cobija, me puse las chanclas, a dos pasos, el lavabo del baño me esperaba con el cepillo de dientes y el dentífrico en pasta, en lo que abría la llave del agua caliente me preparé café. Salí del baño y me rasuré los 3 pelos de la cara, después me daría cuenta de que no eran 3 sino 5.

the National Theater (Narodni Divadlo) in Prague
I love theaters (opera theater the most) and wanted to take a shot from this position since ever but I never had the chance to do so.
This time was different: our lady guide was very nice and, differently from other guided tour of theaters I visited before (where visitors were secluded in a lateral viewing position) we could sit right in the middle of the parterre seating area
I took the last seat, aimed up, and here it is...

Moving Methafora. This art work, by Artist Franco Angelosante, is a cube- rotating world map, a form of metaphoric sense of contemporary life. What’s becoming to the human’s world? The shot was taken during a show named “Technology Art, l'Universo, l'Uomo, il Mito”, in L’Aquila, august 2005, during the "Celestinian Perdonanza".
Metafora in movimento. L'opera, dell'Artista Franco Angelosante, è un cubo-mappamondo rotante, che rimanda a metaforici significati di aspetti della vita contemporanea. Come diventerà il Mondo degli Umani? La ripresa è avvenuta durante una mostra intitolata "Technology Art", l'Universo, l'Uomo, il Mito", tenutasi ad agosto 2005 all'Aquila, durante la Perdonanza Celestiniana. La figura umana a sinistra, mentre legge i pannelli didascalici a testa bassa, manifesta solitudine e ...
This shot is from my collection taken at the Vivid Festival in Sydney. www.vivid.com.au A great event that began last year and has been taken to another level this year!
Some call for this building to be a wonder of the world. I don't know if I agree but it sure is impressive.
What impresses me most is when you're close enough to touch it you realise it is covered in tiles no bigger than my hand!
For a BIGGER impact make sure you view LARGE on black!... it's well worth it!
This building once housed Swampland Opera in Toomsboro, Georgia.
"In 1975 Joe Boone, a former Georgia House of Representatives clerk and member of the prominent local Boone family of lawyers, politicians, and newspapermen who owned much of Toomsboro, cleaned up an old store in the middle of town as a place where he and his friends could gather and play country and gospel music. Mills sat in on piano on opening night. Boone called it the Swampland Opera House, and within weeks people were coming from nearby counties to have a steak at the restaurant next door and set up folding chairs at the theater for Saturday performances. Admission was anything you cared to put in the hat. An annual Syrup Festival, named after the local sorghum syrup mill, grew around the music venue in the 1980s and 1990s. Even after Joe Boone died in 1996, a group of locals formed a nonprofit to keep the show onstage."
"But by the end of the century, the vacant properties were too expensive to maintain, and the remaining Boones, now living in Tennessee, were ready to divest their holdings. In November 2000, the opera house, the hotel, the restaurant, the train depot, the syrup mill, the cotton warehouse, the bank, and several other buildings all went up for auction."

A quote about opera from the Terry Pratchett book Maskerade. The quote is not exact to what's in the book, as I only listen to the book on tape and got this quote online and couldn't check it against the original text.

Every opera house is haunted by ghosts: victims of exposure, murder, suicide, drowning, a broken heart, curses, martyrdom, an avalanche (1), and just plain bad luck. Kings, queens, clerics, artists, philosophers, peasants, gypsies, heroes, heroines -- none are spared.
I thought I would point my new camera at my favourite subject. I must confess I quite like the result.
