“The Royal Opera is situated somewhere in the streets of Paris. But it is not really an opera house but a diner with several tables in and out the place. It’s a good place to wine and dine after watching a real good performance at a real opera house downtown. The place is empty right now and the diner is closed. It is late at night and everybody should be inside the hotel rooms sleeping. Nonetheless, it is still a lovely sight right in the stillness of the night.”
