A Night at the Opera

I must admit I am not much of an opera fiend, and this shot was actually taken early in the morning while walking to work on Andrássy street. There is a certain quiet grace to Andrássy in the morning, and the opera house fits perfectly into the landscape. It was built in the late 19th Century and is one of the city's most   impressive neoclassical buildings. There are guided tours outside show times, so it is worth visiting even for savages like me. For those in the know, the repertoire seems rather impressive and they have shows well into the summer season. (http://opera.hu/en/repertoar)
