The Sydney Opera House is famous for its iconic and unique sail-shaped roof, its masterful 20th-century architecture, and its role as a global symbol of both Sydney and Australia. Its fame stems from its innovative design and engineering, which pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible at the time. It is also a major performing arts venue and one of the world's most-photographed buildings.
My favourite shot. Just so amazing. The lightning bolt in the background and the apocalyptic effect of the light. I love the purple!!!
Salle de spectacle / The Auditorium. Charles Garnier built the auditorium in the tradition of an Italian theatre. Shaped like a horseshoe, the stalls are overlooked by several tiers of boxes and balconies allowing as much to see as be seen. The ceiling by Marc Chagall was inaugurated in 1964 and affixed over the former one by Jules Eugène Lenepveu. Chagall completed the pantheon of opera composers whilst paying tribute to Garnier, with whom he shared a taste for shimmering colours

The Copenhagen Opera House is a donation from the A.P. Møller and Chastine McKinney Møller Foundation to the Danish people. It totals 41,000 square metres. Five of the fourteen storeys are subterranean. The main stage of the opera seats an audience of 1400.
The Opera House is clad with southern German Jura Gelb limestone, and the foyer features Sicilian Perlatino marble. The wall of the auditorium facing the foyer is clad with maple wood, and the ceiling in the main auditorium is adorned with 105,000 sheets of 24 carat gold leaf, equivalent to 1.5 kilos of gold.
The Copenhagen Opera House is designed by Danish architect Henning Larsen, and a number of Danish artists have contributed to the decor, among them Per Kirkeby who has created four bronze reliefs, and Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson who has contributed the three light sculptures for the foyer.
COPENHAGA (Dinamarca): Casa da Ópera.
Casa de Ópera de Copenhaga (português europeu) (em dinamarquês:Operaen) é a sede da ópera nacional da Dinamarca e uma das casas destinadas a música mais modernas do planeta. A Operaen é considerada a casa de ópera mais cara já construída. Foi erguida na ilha de Holmen com um custo total de mais de 500 milhões de dólares.
A Operaen, propositalmente, fica exatamente na direção do Palácio de Amalienborg e da Igreja de Mármore. A porção da ilha de Holmen, onde a ópera foi construída chama-se Dokøen (Ilha das Docas, em português), um antiga e tradicional porto da cidade de Copenhaga. A Operaen pode ser acessada através dos serviços de autocarros e metro, além de algumas balsas que partem do Porto da cidade.

Quite a gloomy day in Sydney during the Australia Day weekend... Spent 4 days in Sydney...
Aaaahhh... Sydney is just beautiful!
While I was in Covent Garden this morning, there was an operatic performance going on in the square, both inside and outside one of the shops- I'm not certain what opera they were performing,as I'm no expert, but I think it may have been Carmen, which would make these Carmen and Escamillo.
Whatever it was, I thouroughly enjoyed it, despite not understanding a word they were singing - you didn't need to know the words, as the acting was superb, and told the story by itself...

With the snow subsiding and the promise of a beautiful sunset, Rachel and I scaled the steps of the Arch de Triomphe with a friend of ours, Wendy.
Earlier we’d visited the grave of Jim Morrison. Although a tiny, unassuming grave amongst huge structures, this was clearly the most visited spot, with people all around looking in, some laying flowers.
It was odd to think that princes and princesses lie in this graveyard, yet a 27-year-old musician draws the most attention. I understood, however, why it had that allure. Everything about the grave, including the iconic black and white photo of him topless, seemed somehow fitting and at the same time very real. On the other hand, the hundreds of graves around us had names inscribed that conjoured up nothing despite their obvious wealth and power.
Standing on the top of the Arch de Triomphe, we braved the biting wind and watched the beautiful sunset. I was asked twice to put my tripod away. I didn’t want be asked a third time – I thought I might be pushing my luck. A blue hour, long exposure shot, therefore, will have to wait until a later date.
Today’s Photo – the main steps of Opera Garnier
Just after being kicked out of Opera Garnier for closing time, I stood and waited at the bottom of the stairs for the last of the tourists to clear out before I fired off a few hand-held shots.
