There are many photos of the Opera House taken at night. Let this photo be an addition.
This photo of the Opera House is important to me. This is among my first photos done at night. Likewise, I had to wait for several hours for darkness to cover the area to be able to take this photo.
I hope you like the result of long hours of waiting. Thanks a lot for viewing.

I did a few things here in an attempt to compensate the lack of visibility and sharpeness,
With Photoshop CS:
1) Cropped the frame to work on your image
2) Titled the image anticlockwise 0.5 degree
3) Filled up the space to avoid reducing the size of your image
With Photofiltre
1) Sharpened the image once
With Neat Image
1) Reduced noise
Back with Photofiltre
1) Reproduced your frame. Note I added the shadows to the letters ( same as for your image ) and 3D border to keep the same 3D effect.

Hope you will like it and find it constructive.
Cheers
Robert
