Hi, I wanted to leave a comment on your post regarding the water under the Opera House but could not:
The opera is made of three buildings: two large heavy ones and one
lighter one in the center between them, where the performing actually takes
place.

Since it was build on a nappe phréatique (I believe “ground water”) it was

chamber under the center portion, to be filled with water and add weight to
stabilize the whole structure. This underground chamber, (the size of two olympic swimming pools), under water, has columns and is
checked by firemen/scuba-divers with lights (it is totally dark) every so often. And yes, there are trouts, I saw them on the film. 🙂
