Vive l'opera! A vibrant and powerful image;it glows and the opulence comes through so well....especially like the almost dripping colour.....the French truly are the best at artistic expression......I am glad that Hitler did not destroy this place...Merci pour cet image.
I agree - vibrant and most impressive. Rich colours in a literal meaning too - golden of gold and red just like blood.
Makes very stylish desktop. Thanks !!!
I've gotten behind in my comments again. I just want you to know that I've viewed this image and found it to be very nice. I've enjoyed viewing it and thank you for posting it. Have a great holiday season.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

truly amazing colors, perfect angle and clear shot, very weel done - again.
I don't think there will perfom anyone since there are no visitors :o)

Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way
This performance of yours - we have a chance to admire - would truly deserve such an elegant exhibition place. And now....ladies and gentlemen... let's meet the man behind the excellent photos .... Paul.....Gerritsen.....(and the curtain goes up)
Fantastic presentation! What a place, how many great performances have been given there? How many timeless plays have been done? Excellent, excellent work, this is top notch!
