Ordsall Hall is a large former manor house in the historic parish of Ordsall, Lancashire, England, now part of the City of Salford, in Greater Manchester. It dates back more than 750 years, although the oldest surviving parts of the present hall were built in the 15th century. The most important period of Ordsall Hall's life was as the family seat of the Radclyffe family, who lived in the house for more than 300 years. The hall was the setting for William Harrison Ainsworth's 1842 novel Guy Fawkes, written around the plausible although unsubstantiated local story that the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was planned in the house.
Since its sale by the Radclyffes in 1662 the hall has been put to many uses: a working men's club, a school for clergy, and a radio station among them. The house was bought by the old Salford Council in 1959 and opened to the public in 1972, as a period house and local history museum. The hall is a Grade I listed building, and entrance is free.
L'Opéra reale di Versailles è il principale teatro della Reggia di Versailles. Disegnato da Ange-Jacques Gabriel, divenne noto anche col nome di Théâtre Gabriel. Le decorazioni interne vennero curate da Augustin Pajou. Il complesso, costruito internamente in legno, è internamente dipinto in falso marmo. L'eccellente acustica dell'Opéra è in gran parte dovuta ai suoi interni in legno.Il teatro è collocato nell'estremità nord dell'Aile du Nord del palazzo. L'ingresso generale del pubblico al teatro avviene attraverso un doppio vestibolo. All'inaugurazione, tenutasi il 16 maggio 1770 in occasione del matrimonio del delfino Luigi con l'arciduchessa Maria Antonietta d'Asburgo-Lorena, venne suonato il Persée di Lully, scritto nel 1682, anno in cui Luigi XIV decise di spostare la propria corte a Versailles.L'Opéra è utilizzata ancora oggi come teatro d'opera, per rappresentazioni e concerti, dal momento che può accomodare 712 persone al proprio interno, oppure servire come sala da ballo appianando la buca dell'orchestra, giungendo così ad ospitare 1200 persone.
