Have you seen Marianela Nunez's debut clips at POB with Giselle a few weeks back? It's insane... And the clips last year of when she performed La Bayadere too, especially the scarf PDD. It was somehow better technically than what was supposed to be her 'prime years' like in the 2018 ROH recording

Yes, I have seen the clips and my jaw dropped. She's just extraordinary, way she dances is still so jubilant and sublime. Her technique, particularly the stability and consistency of her spinal placement appears as strong as ever. I don't know how much longer she wants or intends to dance (I hope for many more years), but she is such a treasure to have on stage and I'm glad we all can appreciate it.

I showcased my Palais Garnier drawing recently at an art exhibition hosted by my local engineering society!

It was such a unique experience getting ready for something like this cuz i’ve never shown my art irl and in public before

I said I liked the building as an architect. They don’t know I drew this because I’m a massive Phantom of the Opera phan😂

The Grand Foyer of the Opera Garnier, Paris, France

The grand foyer is 154 metres long, 13 metres wide and 18 metres high.

In order to complete its decoration, the Opera’s architect, Charles Garnier collaborated with the painter Paul Baudry(1828-1886) who at the time was in Rome painting replicas of the Sistine Chapel. In its tones of old gold, this vast space was created at the most prestigious level of the theatre close to the first-category boxes. It was intended to be a place to rest, stroll, and mingle with high society.

The ceiling of the Opéra Garnier in Paris that was originally painted by Jules Eugène Lenepveu in the late 19th century. However, in 1964, Marc Chagall was commissioned to create a new ceiling, which now covers Lenepveu's work. Chagall’s vibrant, colorful ceiling features scenes from famous operas by composers such as Wagner, Mozart and Verdi.

Spend the Night With the Phantom of the Opera at the Palais Garnier

The Paris Opera is one of the City of Light’s most iconic sites. Now Airbnb is offering the chance to sleep inside the gilded palace that inspired Broadway’s longest-running musical.

omfg. Just saw this article posted... and it's only $40!!! And I am way too broke to even travel to London these days so there's no way I can do it, but bloody hell, the stay includes "A guided tour of the Palais Garnier’s secret areas not usually open to the public, including the underground cistern", and you get to stay overnight at the Palais Garnier.

I assume there are lots of phans in Europe who'll be doing this, and possibly travelling from further afield, and if you can you absolutely should and you should film whatever video you can and share it with all of us, omfg please phandom go stay the night at the Paris Opera for all of us who can't.

(Booking opens March 1, for a Sunday, July 16, 2023 event.)

Portrait of Christine Daae.

The first art that I drew based on the "Phantom of the Opera". You can really fall in love with the image of Christine from the original novel, I liked how the writer emphasized her seemingly soft, but in fact strength Swedish character. Gaston Leroux compares Christine's eyes to lakes in which you can easily drown. In order to show that the seemingly beautiful and simple can be much deeper than seems, I depicted two types of columns on the background: the columns of the front foyer and the columns of the basement.

P.S. Thanks for the likes to the previous post!
