Re: V and Erik
When I got off the Metro, I climbed up to street level, turned around... and there it was! (the stop is RIGHT IN FRONT of the theatre) I believe my jaw actually dropped. It was sunset, so the light levels were bad and I turned up my camera's exposure to brighten things up; then, just after I arrived, the street lights came on. So the color pictures make it look like the lights are on during the day. 
Didn't have an opportunity to even try to get in, though. I was only in Paris three days, this was the night of the third, and I was on my way from my personal Paris questing to Planet Hollywood to meet some of the other students.

The Palais Garnier was the first stop. We got to go in, wander around, but the auditorium itself was closed.
Well, I'm jealous that you got to go in, even if you couldn't see the auditorium (reminds me of my first trip to The Globe - I got as far as the gift shop...).
I've heard that the tour guides deny the existence of the catacombs... truth? Do you know?

*hug!!!* Poor ButMad. We can at least fix the Globe thing next year.
Don't worry, Mel - it's been fixed, refixed, and upgraded.  I was talking about my first trip to London, when I was just there a week. We got there, the tour had just left, they wouldn't let you in if you weren't on a tour, and we had to head to our next thing before the next tour started. But darned if I was going to leave without souvenirs!  (I lost my Groundling penny somewhere!  )
However, during my semester there, I was at The Globe no fewer than three times - twice for plays (Midsummer and Twelfth Night - with an all-male cast! - and you don't pay attention  , because I know I posted about having been a Groundling), once for a British Life and Culture (remember that done-tardy-off class I was telling you about?) lecture by one of the actors (in a "back room"/classroom area).
Want proof? This is me at The Globe, about 40 lbs heavier and with really super short hair... but pleased as can be to be in English Major's Heaven.

I will not be satisfied until we at least tour the place. Not sure if any productions will be on, but I'm not leaving London without some communing with the Bard.
That is, of course, a MUST.
quote:
And I haven't given up completely on the idea of an overnight to Stratford.
Been there, too (not that I'm bragging) - my class went to see The Tempest. It rained - a LOT - and the tour bus had a leaky roof (the only reason I was on it was it was faster than walking around to the "attractions," and I had the foolish notion I could stay drier). Here I am, standing at the entrance to Shakespeare's Birthplace, thinking, "Is there no sun in this cursed country?!" (Azeem, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves") - You can actually see a few rain drops as they race past the camera lens.
The following is the caption I have for this photo in my Kodak Gallery album:
Here's the Globe actor, Richard Hodder, who breathed life into the history of British theatre for my British Life & Culture class. He was quite active during his energetic delivery, and it took me some time to get a photo in which his face was turned towards me AND not blocked by his hand. When I showed him this shot, he said, "Good lord, I don't move around THAT much, do I?" I laughed and replied, "Yes, you do!"
