Would you like to turn back the clock 100 years 
to attend an elegant ball, just for the evening?


Yeah, me too

    I'll be there in a jiffy. Just have to dust off my top hat and tails.

    I love this spot. I can't enter without imagining ball gowns and elegant people celebrating music -- and being seen!

    Not hard for me to populate your wonderful photo in my mind's eye, Genie. I'd be there with bells on—and long white gloves!

    And a charming prince beside me?..
    and could I stay longer than midnight?..:o)

    This is so pretty, Genie. It is an angle I would shoot.

    Dance? A hundred years ago they would not have allowed the likes of me in there. Unless it was to clean up afterward.

    I love it there too, and always imagine what it would have been like to attend an opera there (even though I've never been to an opera). It's such a magnificent building that I love to visit- I went twice on my recent trip to Paris, showing different friends about- loved it both times.
