i was pickpocketed this day :(. we were planning on trying for standing seats for the opera at the historic opéra garnier. unfortunately, being pickpocketed ruined that plan. instead, we went to eat korean food in the area.
It's the place to wine and dine after work and of course a great spot for tourists to wander around.

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, opening in 1973 after a long gestation that began with his competition-winning design in 1957. The NSW Government, led by Premier Joseph Cahill gave the go-ahead for work to begin in 1958. The government's bold decision to select Utzon's design is often overshadowed by the scandal that followed.[3] It is on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and inland by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Contrary to its name, it houses multiple performance venues. It is among the busiest performing arts centres in the world, hosting over 1,500 performances each year attended by some 1.2 million people. It provides a venue for many performing arts companies, including the four key resident companies Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and presents a wide range of productions on its own account. It is also one of the most popular visitor attractions in Australia, with more than seven million people visiting each year, 300,000 of whom take a guided tour.[4][5]
It is administered by the Sydney Opera House Trust, under the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts. On 28 June 2007, it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[6] It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.[

L’Opéra Garnier, ou Palais Garnier, est un des édifices structurants du 9e arrondissement de Paris et du paysage de la capitale française. Situé à l'extrémité de l'avenue de l'Opéra, près de la station de métro du même nom, l'édifice s'impose comme un monument particulièrement représentatif de l'architecture éclectique et du style historiciste de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle et s'inscrit dans la continuité des transformations de Paris menées à bien par Napoléon III et le préfet Haussmann.
Cette construction a longtemps été appelée l'« Opéra de Paris », mais depuis l'ouverture de l'Opéra Bastille en 1989, on la désigne par le seul nom de son auteur : Charles Garnier. Les deux sites sont aujourd'hui regroupés au sein de l'établissement public, industriel et commercial de l'« Opéra de Paris ».
Le Palais Garnier fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 16 octobre 1923. The Palais Garnier (pronounced: [palɛ ɡaʁnje]) is a 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was originally called the Salle des Capucines because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, but soon became known as the Palais Garnier in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier. The theatre is also often referred to as the Opéra Garnier, and historically was known as the Opéra de Paris or simply the Opéra,[7] as it was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when the Opéra Bastille opened at the Place de la Bastille.[8] The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.
The Palais Garnier is probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur Basilica."[9] This is at least partly due to its use as the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera and, especially, the novel's subsequent adaptations in films and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular 1986 musical.[9] Another contributing factor is that among the buildings constructed in Paris during the Second Empire, besides being the most expensive,[10] it has been described as the only one that is "unquestionably a masterpiece of the first rank."[11] This opinion is far from unanimous however: the 20th-century French architect Le Corbusier once described it as "a lying art" and contended that the "Garnier movement is a décor of the grave".[12]
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,[13] the museum is included in unaccompanied tours of the Palais Garnier.[14]

The Leipzig Opera (in German: Oper Leipzig) is an opera house and opera company in Leipzig, Germany.
The Leipzig Opera traces its establishment to the year 1693, making it the third oldest opera venue in Europe after La Fenice (Venice, Italy) and the Hamburg State Opera (Hamburg, Germany). The director of many of those early operas was Telemann.
The Leipzig Opera does not have its own opera orchestra, and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra performs as the orchestra for the opera. This relationship dates back to 1766, with performances of the Singspiel Die verwandelten Weiber, oder Der Teufel ist los by Johann Adam Hiller.
Construction of the modern opera house began in 1956. The theatre was inaugurated on October 8, 1960, with a performance of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
In May 2008, the appointments of Alexander von Maravic as Artistic Director (Intendant) and Peter Konwitschny as principal director of productions at Leipzig Opera were announced. The current Generalmusikdirektor (General Music Director, or GMD) of Oper Leipzig is Ulf Schirmer, effective with the 2009-2010 season.[1]

In all my years taking photos, I have not been down to the harbour at sunrise for a photo shoot. Today was a first, shooting the Opera House as the sun rose. This is about 20 minutes before sunrise, shot from Dawes Point. While it wasn't a spectacular morning in terms of light, it was great being out with the Focus group.
The Amargosa Opera House is located at Death Valley Junction. Taken with the Sony A7ii and SEL1635z.
