The grand opera house was alive with the energy of the dress
rehearsal. Alex, the director, was giving final instructions to
Maria, the soprano, and Luca, the baritone. Michael, the conductor,
raised his baton, and David, the pianist, began the overture, his
fingers dancing over the keys. Isabella, the woman with a double
bass, adjusted her instrument, ready to play. From the balcony,
Clara, the opera review writer, observed everything with keen interest.
As Maria and Luca's voices filled the auditorium in a
beautiful duet, a small commotion started in the loft above the
stage. Michael noticed it first, his eyes widening as he tried to
keep his focus on conducting. Suddenly, a spider descended from the
loft, dangling right in front of Maria. She let out a small yelp but
continued singing, her professionalism shining through.
Alex, trying to keep the mood light, whispered to the cast,
"Looks like we have a new critic in the house!" The entire
cast and crew burst into laughter, even Clara couldn't help but
chuckle from her spot in the balcony. The spider, seemingly
unimpressed with the performance, scurried back up to the loft,
leaving everyone in good spirits.
As the final notes echoed through the hall, Alex clapped his
hands, signaling the end of the rehearsal. The cast and crew
exchanged relieved smiles, knowing they had delivered a performance
worthy of the grand stage, spider and all.

Hello,
my name is Laszlo Torma and I love LEGO, it is one of my
hobbies. I prefer minifigure scale and I design usually but not
exclusively Speed Champions style car models. My LEGO nick name is TLG
which is the abbrevation of my full name (in Hungarian order).
I love architecture as well and I decided to design an opera
house to Bricklink Designer Program Series 6 and my inspiration came
from the opera houses of Budapest and Vienna. I tried to add
many typical details, and decorations such as a
combination of an arcade and a balcony on the front facade, statues,
dormer windows, a brick-built light pole, light on the rear facade,
planter etc.. The roof assembly and the auditorium balcony are
removable and a big part of the rear wall is
openable to make the interior space accessible. The foyer
includes a bar combined with a box office, and a staircase to the
auditorium and facade balconies. In the theatre there are a stage with
a scenery and curtain, an orchestra with a brick-built grand piano,
and an auditorium with balcony. All doors works.
I prefer the brick built solutions to keep the flexibility of
the used parts in further builds, therefore stickers are not used.
The set includes 10 minifigures including the
two gray statues on the facade and two animals.
Dimensions of the building:
Width: 34.1 studs / 10.7 in / 27.3 cm
Length: 50.9 studs
/ 16.0 in / 40.7 cm
Height: 29.2 studs / 9.2 in / 23.3 cm
The building instructions guidelines have been followed. It is
built from the palette "BDP Series 6", so there are some
color and part restrictions. My original intent was
to add tan decorations to the facade and make a sand green roof.
Unfortunately it was not possible, but I am really satisfied with the result.
I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your
support and feedback!
All the best,
Laszlo Torma
