Welcome to the Opera World
We all are scattered throughout seven continents, we speak various distinct languages, we are of different religious beliefs and political views – all of us differ greatly. Yet, we all are united here by the unconditional love to the opera world.
The opera world is as much as 300 years old, but, at the same time, it is increasingly modern consisting of century long traditions accompanied by contemporary music of XXI century.
Opera theaters is another good example of this mentioned symbiosis, as traditional opera and ballet plays blend perfectly together with 3D effects, animation and laser shows. One can also find these theater buildings as an amazing illustration of an ancient architecture development, starting all the way back in archaic times, and to this very day with its ultramodern structures of urban cities.
