About Opera Garnier
Opera Garnier, Paris's cultural cornerstone since 1875, boasts exquisite Beaux-Arts architecture, inspiring the setting for Gaston Leroux's ‘The Phantom of the Opera’. Home to Paris Opera Ballet, its opulent interiors, like the Grand Staircase and the lavish Grand Foyer adorned with stunning chandeliers, are a testament to 19th-century opulence.
The Opera Garnier has an underground lake that inspired the Phantom’s lair in 'Phantom of the Opera'. Emptying the underground cistern would cause the Opera to collapse!
Box number 5 at the Opera Garnier was supposedly privately reserved by the Phantom every night in real life and is today the first to sell out.
Banks near the Opera Garnier would stay open late when there was a performance as wealthy opera-goers who stored their expensive jewelry would take them out just for this occasion.
The Opera Garnier is the first building in history to have been signed on by the architect.
During the Prussian War, the unfinished Opera Garnier building was used as a camp to store food and straws.
Why visit Opera Garnier?
Highlights
The grand foyer
Nestled on the inaugural level of Opera Garnier, this captivating chamber is adorned with opulent gilded sculptures, intricate paintings, and dazzling chandeliers inspired by the Renaissance era. Renowned as a favorite among photographers, it has served as an enchanting backdrop for films and shows, including Emily in Paris.
The auditorium
At the heart of Opera Garnier lies its auditorium, serving as the primary venue for ballet, concert, and opera performances. The space boasts striking architectural features, including sweeping balconies, captivating ceiling paintings, and one of the largest stages in Europe. Influenced by architect Charles Garnier's vision, the auditorium combines elements of Baroque architecture with Renaissance art.
The Chagall ceiling
Created by renowned artist Marc Chagall in 1964, the vibrant mural showcases scenes from celebrated ballets and operas. This breathtaking masterpiece captivates audiences with its vivid imagery and evocative storytelling, even though it was met with objections towards a Russian Jew modern artist decorating a French national monument.
The Rotonde du Glacier
The circular Rotonde du Glacier on the ground floor serves as a pre- and post-show gathering space where visitors can enjoy a drink amidst elegant surroundings. Adorned with exquisite marble bar counters, stunning sculptures, and mosaics, the Rotonde du Glacier was originally designed as a gathering area for intermissions and continues to uphold this tradition.
