I didn't know that I wouldn't have access to the concert hall (audience, stage...). If there was any information, it wasn't clear enough.

THE OPERA IS MAGNIFICENT, but we're going to have to regulate visits by Instagrammers, who "squat" on the premises for very, very long periods of time and disturb REAL visitors. Set aside time slots for them where they won't disturb anyone, and charge them an appropriate fee, since they're paid for their posts.

Everything was wonderful!!! The punctuality, the ability to see the entire theater and stage. What about the exceptional, to say the least, ceiling painted by Chagall? I highly recommend this visit to everyone

Your experience

Boasting an eclectic and ostentatious Baroque design, the Opera Garnier is one of the most extravagant representations of Second Empire architecture in France. Thanks to your timed entry tickets, benefit from quick and easy access to this magnificent building in the center of Paris.

Inaugurated in 1875 and named after its exciting young architect, Charles Garnier, it is the largest opera house in Europe. You will set eyes on the writhing snakes of the bronze “Pythonisse” sculpture, before climbing the double stairway of the “Grand Escalier” (Main Staircase). Imagine the swish of crinolines as you admire the breathtaking décor and stroll through vast foyers, filled with sparkling mosaics, colorful marble columns, and gold-leaf flourishes. Everywhere you look will be a feast for the eyes.
