Opera Garnier
8 rue Scribe, Paris, FranceWeb: Visit this site »
Opera Garnier, named after the architect who designed it in 1862, was immortalized by writer Gaston Leroux in his Phantom of the Opera. The architecture is a mixture of baroque, classical, Greek and Napoleonic styles. Adorned with mosaics, the foyer has a cupola decorated by painter Marc Chagall and an impressive rococo staircase, which leads to the theatre's magnificent reception rooms. Outside, four stone statues represent allegories of Music, Lyric Poetry, Lyric Theatre and Dance. Since the opening of the Opera Bastille, the Opera Garnier has concentrated on dance.

- Beautiful views inside and outside.
- Crowded and the main theater was the least interesting part.
“The only problem was the amount of people passing through. Although there were rumors of a lake beneath, there was very little water, or that's what we're told. The public was not permitted below. Even if the theater was unaccessible, which sometimes is when preparing for, or during a show, I would recommend it.”
