Music at the opera...


I'm sure you understand why the title of this post is "Music at the opera" and not "opera music"!  For yes, the monument in the background is for sure the famous Opéra Garnier, that is the opera house that was built by Charles Garnier between 1861 and 1875, but the band in front is Les Plaies Mobiles, a horn band that plays in front of several Paris monuments from time to time. I love them!

  6. @Phx2cdg "How DO you manage to get all these unique moments?" Pure chance to be honest (in between my computer problems LOL!)

    @Janet "Cool guys and gals!" Yes, they are. Actually, even their name is cool; they are called les Plaies mobiles (the mobile plagues), after the German toys called Playmobil!

  7. Fantastic! And for me, this will always be the "real" Paris Opera. (I'm trying to send positive vibes in the direction of your computer, Eric!)
