A series of snaps from opera visits – when I remember to snap some. Above and immediately below, just before the start of ‘La Dame Blanche‘ on January 25, 2022.

La Tête Carrée
La Tête Carrée, or the blockhead building, which houses the administrative offices of the Louis Nucéra library in Nice. At 30 meters high and 14 metres wide, the building has seven stories, three in the neck and four in the head. It was inaugurated in 2002 and is considered one of the most unusual and intriguing contemporary structures on the Côte d’Azur.
