A magnificent building that exudes artistic and creative energy.

One immediately thinks of the Opera in Paris or La Scala in Milan when one becomes familiar with the magnificence of this palace to the arts. Despite being tucked away on a narrow street, you quickly sense the power this building has on its surroundings. People seem in awe just being near the energy that it exudes.
