The most iconic of them all, I think. 
Construction started in 1959 and it was finally opened in 1973
From the modern to a more classical design. Also known as Palais Garnier, it was constructed between 1861 and 1875. You may know it from the Gaston Leroux book (and musical) Phantom of the Opera
I have thoroughly enjoyed The Met: Live in HD
series at the cinema over the years, and on a one time visit to NYC,
managed to get rush seating (it was thrilling!). The Lincoln Centre was
built in 1966
The Oslo Opera House (2008) was the largest cultural building constructed in Norway since 1300. Unlike The Sydney Opera House, it was completed ahead of schedule and under budget! Instead of 'sails', it has a flat 'iceberg' design which is not so obvious in this postcard.
Great finds! Beautiful building of the Opera De Paris. My post is here https://marinaowens.com/2023/09/28/theaters/
ReplyDeleteArriving and entering buildings like these part of the excitement.
ReplyDeleteThe Garnier Opera is one of my dream visits. I have been several times to Paris, but never inside it!
ReplyDeleteI found a postcard for today's theme: see it here.
