About Opéra Garnier
France
The Opéra Garnier, also known as the Palais Garnier, is a grand historic opera house located in the heart of Paris. Completed in 1875, it was designed by architect Charles Garnier in the Beaux-Arts style, featuring an opulent façade, a sweeping staircase, and a majestic chandelier. The building’s interior is equally stunning, with lavish marble, gold leaf, and intricate frescoes, including the famous ceiling painted by Marc Chagall. The Opéra Garnier is renowned not only for its architectural beauty but also for its cultural significance as a venue for world-class opera, ballet, and performances. It inspired Gaston Leroux’s novel The Phantom of the Opera, adding to its mystique, and today it remains an active performance space and a popular attraction for visitors to Paris.
