The Front Facade

The Royal Opera House, Mumbai
Mumbai, India

Archival photographs show the staircase tower surmounted by a tall Florentine dome. This dome no longer exists today and was probably dismantled, along with the third floor stone arches and pediments due to structural distress.
The ornate statuary adjoining the entrance was installed and Carara marble was obtained from Italy.
