The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in the Australian city of Sydney. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, finally opening in 1973 after a long gestation starting with his competition-winning design in 1957. Utzon received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour, in 2003. (Wiki)
Peking opera or Beijing opera (simplified Chinese: 京剧; traditional Chinese: 京劇; pinyin: Jīngjù) is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance, and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.[1] The form was extremely popular in the Qing dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China.[2] Major performance troupes are based in Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south.[3] The art form is also preserved in Taiwan (Republic of China), where it is known as Guójù (traditional Chinese: 國劇; simplified Chinese: 国剧; literally: "National theatre"). It has also spread to other countries such as the United States and Japan.
京劇又稱京戲，在台灣又稱平劇、國劇，是中國戲曲曲種之一。分布地以北京為中心，遍布全國。京劇是十九世紀中期，融合了徽劇和漢劇，並吸收了秦腔、崑曲、梆子、弋陽腔等藝術的優點，在北京形成的。京劇形成後在清朝宮廷內得到了空前的繁榮。京劇的腔調以西皮和二黃為主，主要用胡琴和鑼鼓等伴奏，被視為中國國粹。
京劇於2010年，獲選進入人類非物質文化遺產代表作名錄。

Three stitches of a close up of the Sydney Opera House on a cool winter's morning.
I used a 70-200mm 2.8 Nikkor that I rented. It's a great lens and this size doesn't do it justice but there's so much detail in the tiles on the roof that I'd never noticed before!

Children and adults alike celebrated the Christmas season with a reading of the heart-warming editorial, âYes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus.â Afterward, the One-and-Only Santa Claus made a special guest appearance to read âTwas the Night Before Christmasâ and pose for photos with good boys and girls as The Figgy Puddings Holiday Carolers from the Washington National Opera performed in the background. The program took place at the Newseum's Knight Studio on December 2, 2017, in Washington, DC.
