Bydgoszcz is heading fast to the 21st century, new constructions everywhere. Here the Opera Building.
Dankzij tweeduizend.be, de kans gekregen om samen met Tom (www.flickr.com/tupid) eens een kijkje te gaan nemen in het gerestaureerd Opera gebouw... echt heel knap!

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.
Grabbed these shots while hovering over the Opera House the other day, waiting for permission to get into the CBD for a job.
Even on a cloudy day, Sydney is a great place.
Here's a shot of that iconic building from The Rocks.

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...
enjoy
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!
I never tire of photographing Sydney Opera House. This slightly abstract view was spotted from the Manly Ferry.

"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 Palais Garnier, also known as the Opéra de Paris or Opéra Garnier, but more commonly as the Paris Opéra, is a 2,200-seat opera house on the Place de l'Opéra in Paris, France. A grand landmark designed by Charles Garnier in the Neo-Baroque style, it is regarded as one of the architectural masterpieces of its time.
The building is located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris and is served by the metro station Opéra.
Upon its inauguration in 1875, the opera house was officially named the Académie Nationale de Musique - Théâtre de l'Opéra. It retained this title until 1978 when it was re-named the Théâtre National de l'Opéra de Paris.
In 1896, one of the counter-weights for the grand chandelier fell, killing one. This, as well as the underground lake, cellars and other elements of the Opera House, inspired Gaston Leroux in 1909 to write his classic Gothic novel, The Phantom of the Opera.

Opéra Garnier, ook wel Palais Garnier genoemd, is een operagebouw in Parijs, gebouwd tussen 1861 en 1875.
Opéra Garnier is in 1861 ontworpen door de architect Charles Garnier in opdracht van Napoleon III. Het gebouw zou worden geopend in 1871, maar als gevolg van de Frans-Duitse oorlog werd de opening uitgesteld tot 5 januari 1875. Het interieur is rijkelijk voorzien van bladgoud, fresco's en marmer. Het plafond is in 1964 beschilderd door Marc Chagall. De stijl is neobarok, eclectisch en potsierlijk extravagant te noemen.
Dit is het grootste operagebouw ter wereld met een oppervlakte van ruim 11.000 m².
Het gebouw is onder meer bekend doordat Het spook van de opera (een roman van Gaston Leroux) zich er afspeelt. Er worden tegenwoordig vooral balletvoorstellingen gehouden; de operafunctie is grotendeels overgenomen door Opéra Bastille.

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.
