<p>La photo montre la somptueuse salle de l'Opéra d'État hongrois (en hongrois : Magyar Állami Operaház), situé sur la célèbre avenue Andrássy à Budapest.<br />
Caractéristiques de la salle<br />
Architecture : Un théâtre en forme de fer à cheval sur trois niveaux de balcons richement décorés.<br />
Décoration : Des ornements en or éclatant, du rouge velours et des fresques classiques au plafond.<br />
Lustre : Un impressionnant lustre en bronze suspendu au centre sous la coupole.<br />
Conception : Réalisé dans un style néo-Renaissance par l'architecte Miklós Ybl et inauguré en 1884. <br />
<br />
Les trésors artistiques de la salle<br />
<br />
• La fresque du plafond : Peinte par le grand maître hongrois Károly Lotz, cette monumentale œuvre circulaire s'intitule L'Apothéose de la Musique. Elle représente le dieu Apollon sur le mont Olympe entouré par les divinités grecques.<br />
• La feuille d'or : Pour donner cet éclat flamboyant visible sur l'image, pas moins de 7 kilos d'or pur (24 carats) ont été utilisés pour recouvrir les moulures et les ornements de l'auditorium.<br />
• Le lustre monumental : Commandé en Allemagne (à Mayence) en 1884, ce lustre géant pesait à l'origine 3 tonnes. Équipé au départ de 500 lampes à gaz, il a été converti à l'électricité en 1895 et pèse aujourd'hui environ 2 tonnes. Il est si grand qu'il doit être descendu manuellement à l'aide d'un treuil deux fois par an pour changer ses ampoules.<br />

👑 Les loges et l'Impératrice Sissi<br />
<br />
Au centre du premier balcon se trouve la loge royale, encadrée de quatre sculptures symbolisant les voix de l'opéra (soprano, alto, ténor, basse). Cependant, la célèbre Impératrice Sissi, qui préférait la discrétion, utilisait plutôt la loge de proscenium (située tout près de la scène). Derrière ses rideaux de velours, elle pouvait apprécier les spectacles à l'abri des regards indiscrets de la cour.</p>
