Models present their own creations on a giant red carpet runway behind the Paris Opera House in the central shopping district as part of events during the Paris Fashion Week September 30, 2010.

The famous Paris opera house known as the Opera Garnier is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. Emperor Napoleon III commissioned the building in the 1850s but would never see its completion.

Inside Out Theatre Company will present a bilingual production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in Sunrise, FL, featuring performances in Spanish to enhance community inclusion.

Semyon Bychkov will be the musical director for a period when the opera’s performance spaces are under renovation. It’s a chance to add symphonic seasons, like at La Scala.

Semyon Bychkov will soon take up the most prestigious post of his long, varied career. Collaborating with Ralph Fiennes on “Eugene Onegin,” he gives a taste of things to come.
