The Paris Opera
is the primary opera company of France. It was founded in 1669 by Louis XIV as the Académie d'Opéra, and shortly thereafter was placed under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Lully and officially renamed the Académie Royale de Musique, but continued to be known more simply as the Opéra. Classical ballet as we know it today arose within the Paris Opera as the Paris Opera Ballet and has remained an integral and important part of the company. Currently called the Opéra National de Paris, it mainly produces operas at its modern 2700-seat theatre Opéra Bastille which opened in 1989, and ballets and some classical operas at the older 1970-seat Palais Garnier which opened in 1875. Small scale and contemporary works are also staged in the 500-seat Amphitheatre under the Opéra Bastille.
The company's annual budget is in the order of 200 million euros, of which 100 million come from the French state and 70 million from box office receipts.[1] With this money, the company runs the two houses and supports a large permanent staff, which includes the orchestra of 170, a chorus of 110 and the corps de ballet of 150.
Each year, the Opéra presents about 380 performances of opera, ballet and other concerts, to a total audience of about 800,000 people (of which 17% come from abroad), which is a very good average seat occupancy rate of 94%. In the 2012/13 season, the Opéra presents 18 opera titles (two in a double bill), 13 ballets, 5 symphonic concerts and two vocal recitals, plus 15 other programmes. The company's training bodies are also active, with 7 concerts from the Atelier Lyrique and 4 programmes from the École de Danse.

Country of origin: France
The Opéra Garnier is a national theater which has the vocation to be an academy of music, choreography and lyric poetry; it is a major element of the heritage of the 9th district of Paris and the capital. It is located on the Place de l'Opéra, at the northern end of the Avenue de l'Opéra and at the crossroads of many roads.
The building is a particularly representative monument of the eclectic architecture and historicist style of the second half of the 19th century. Based on a design by the architect Charles Garnier, chosen following a competition, its construction, decided by Napoleon III as part of the transformation of Paris led by the prefect Haussmann and interrupted by the war of 1870, was resumed at the beginning of the Third Republic, after the destruction by fire of the opera Le Peletier in 1873. The building was inaugurated on January 5, 1875 by President Mac Mahon under the Third Republic.

This processing is completely over-the-top, but so is the building, so perhaps it's appropriate! I blame Toshio. Opera Garnier was built from 1860 to 1875 and this "grand foyer" was modelled after an older room at Versailles. Note that the photo was taken hand held at high ISO and slow shutter speed.

o Theatro Municipal é a principal casa de espetáculos do Brasil e uma das mais importantes da América do Sul. Desde a sua inauguração, em 14 de julho de 1909, o Theatro tem recebido os maiores artistas internacionais, assim como os principais nomes brasileiros, da dança, música e da ópera.
Inicialmente, o Theatro foi apenas uma casa de espetáculos, que recebia principalmente companhias estrangeiras, na maioria trazidas da Itália e da França. A partir da década de 30, o Municipal passou a ter seus próprios corpos artísticos: orquestra, coro e ballet. Os três continuam em plena atividade e realizam várias produções próprias a cada ano. Hoje, o Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro é a única instituição cultural brasileira a manter simultaneamente um coro, uma orquestra sinfônica e uma companhia de ballet.
Prefeito do Distrito Federal, entre os anos de 1902 e 1906, o engenheiro Pereira Passos o planejou como o toque final da reforma que realizou na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, sendo o Theatro construído com base na fusão do projeto arquitetônico de Francisco de Oliveira Passos (filho do Prefeito), com o de Albert Guilbert, que haviam empatado no concurso organizado para o projeto do novo teatro. O desenho do prédio foi inspirado no da Ópera de Paris, construída por Charles Garnier.
Na foto principal temos uma escultura de Rodolpho Bernadelli representando a Musica que juntamente com a Poesia estão na parte da fachada central do Teatro, Dança e Canto na Avenida Rio Branco e a Tragedia e Comedia na Rua 13 de Maio.
Rodolpho Bernadelli tem trabalhos lindissimos com Arte Cemiterial como esta escultura que postei a tempos atras.

Candlelit Opera House in Paris. Inspired the setting of the famous book and play (and now movie) "Phantom of the Opera."
It's scary how one of the most beautiful cities in the world competes for attention against those so-called smartphones.

It's always interesting to look back at moments through photography especially moments during travel. Everything is tinted by a certain distant nostalgia filtered through mood and every other external influencing factor. Were the leaves really that vivid? Were the vistas really that inviting? Did the streets really wind their way into your heart the way they have wound up there in retrospect?
I am in the process of putting the majority of my Paris photography online in one way or another. I am populating my Paris Pinterest board, adding to my Flickr Paris album (linked below), and I will eventually launch a travel photography portfolio site which will be part of my main photography portfolio.
