Yerevan (Armenia, 2013)
The ground-breaking of the Opera-Theatre took place on 28 November 1930 during the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of Soviet Armenia. The building was designed by the Armenian architect Alexander Tamanian in a neoclasical style, influenced by Soviet brutalist architecture. It was officially opened in 1933.

An old pic I dredged up from my first... and so far only... visit to The Land Down Under. Not many men at work there, tho'.
The Sydney Opera House is an expressionist modern design, with a series of large precast concrete 'shells', each taken from a hemisphere of the same radius, forming the roofs of the structure. The Opera House covers 1.8 hectares (4.5 acres) of land. It is 183 metres (605 feet) long and about 120 metres (388 feet) wide at its widest point. It is supported on 580 concrete piers sunk up to 25 metres below sea level. Its power supply is equivalent for a town of 25,000 people. The power is distributed by 645 kilometres of electrical cable.
The roofs of the House are covered with 1.056 million glossy white and matte cream Swedish-made tiles, though from a distance the tiles look only white. Despite their self-cleaning nature, they are still subject to periodic maintenance and replacement.
The Concert Hall and Opera Theatre are each contained in the two largest groups of shells, and the other theatres are located on the sides of the shell groupings. The form of the shells is chosen to reflect the internal height requirements, rising from the low entrance spaces, over the seating areas and up to the high stage towers. A much smaller group of shells set to one side of the Monumental steps and houses the Bennelong Restaurant.
Although the roof structures of the Sydney Opera House are commonly referred to as shells (as they are in this article), they are in fact not shells in a strictly structural sense, but are instead precast concrete panels supported by precast concrete ribs. The building's interior is composed of pink granite quarried in Tarana and wood and brush box plywood supplied from northern New South Wales.

(Italian: Teatro dell'Opera di Roma) The theatre was originally a privately owned opera house in Rome, which opened in 1880.
In 1926 the theatre was bought by the Rome City Council and got its present name. A partial rebuilding ensued, and the house re-opened in 1928. Chief among several major changes was the relocated entrance, from a street to the opposite side with a piazza, where it exists today.
In 1958, the building was again remodeled and modernized. Rome City Council again commissioned architect Marcello Piacentini, who radically altered the building's style, notably with regard to the facade, entrance and foyer, each of these taking the form we know today.
The theater's legendary acoustics still bear comparison with any other auditorium in the world. The seating capacity is about 1,600.
Chinese Opera is a form of drama and musical theatre and has its roots going back as far as the third century. In Bangkok, Chinese opera is played at San Jao Sien Khong at Talaad Noi and other places during Chinese celebrations.

The Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall and the Alexander Spendiaryan Opera and Ballet National Academic Theatre both make up one huge building which most locals simply refer to as the Opera building. It is in the heart of Yerevan, right between Cascade and Republic Square.
I don't know what possessed me to do this but a couple of years ago I came up with this design for a t-shrit. I had been listening to a lot of Wagner.
At the time I was a bit tired of people trying to foist their questionable cultural values upon me with their innane t-shirt messages so I said to myself "If I have to look at your stupid t-shirts then you will have to look at mine."
So I had one printed up. No one evers asked about it. I think they were afraid.
