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.
The Opera Garnier (building completed in 1876) looks much the same now as it did then but the street scene in front of it is interesting. The strength of the shadows seems to indicate that three of the women are holding up parasols against the sun rather than umbrellas, while the two buses are drawn exclusively by white horses. Something oddly reminiscent of a Lowry about the foreground.

Un'opera d'arte di un architetto danese che non ha mai visto concludere la sua creazione, problemi politici per costruirla, 150 milioni di dollari per crearla, simbolo dell'australia e una leggenda già prima di essere costruita......il tutto riassunto in 5 linee.

Performance of Offenbach's 'La belle Helene' by the orchestra, choir and ballet of the Kraków Opera. Kraków, Poland
Last night was the opening night of the Met's new season with a gala performance of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. Jane (Fonda), Mary-Louise (Parker), Willem (Dafoe), Barbara (Walters), Walter (Cronkite), Charlie (Rose), Mike (Bloomberg), John (McEnroe), Plácido (Domingo) and many more... they were all there. And so was I ! Alright, alright: the gala crowd was in the opera house and schmucks like me were outside, on the plaza, enjoying the performance with a little breeze and sans chi-chi dresses. Ah, it's good to be frugal.
As part of the Metropolitan Opera’s new initiative to widen the appeal of opera, the Met broadcasted the entire performance in Times Square on a giant screen. The Met also presented a simultaneous outdoor broadcast of the performance in Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza. “We want to bring the Met to the heart of New York,” said Peter Gelb, the Met’s new General Manager.“This effort is symbolic of our plans to keep the Met connected to mainstream culture and contemporary life and will help build new audiences. Thousands will have the chance to see and hear our opening night performance who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.”
To read all about it, check out the MetBlog. Oh yes, those opera people are hip and cool: they have a blog, playlists on iTunes, rush tickets and Figaro who answers all your questions!
NB:
On the screen: Lucia learns from her secret lover Edgardo that he must to go to France defend his family honor, while she has to marry against her will to save her family's misfortune. Brrr...

The new opera building in Oslo, as seen from a boat. By 2015 this desolate area will hopefully be a whole new neighbourhood...
Turns out the first Opera cake was invented by Dalloyau and rest of the dessert shops followed. The one showing is not from Dalloyau... sorry
