Masterpiece of the 19th century theater art architecture, the Opera Garnier, also called Palais Garnier, is a unique and exceptional Opera.
The Opéra Garnier or Palais Garnier, is a 1,979-seat opera house in Paris and one of the biggest in Europe. When a new opera house, the Opéra Bastille, opened at the Place de la Bastille, the Palais Garnier started to be used now mainly for ballet shows. The theatre has been a ''monument historique'' of France since 1923.
The Palais Garnier was commissioned by Napoleon III, and the civic planner Baron Haussmann was given the task to build the opera house in 1858. Charles Garnier, the architect, was chosen from a competition held in 1861.
Opera Garnier is famous for its interior as well as its exterior. In the grandiose interior, the mosaic dome ceiling paintings covering the Grand Staircase, the Grand Foyer are very impressive. There is also a small lake at the bottom of the building, which is also effective in the long construction period. This pool is also the inspiration for the (Phantom of the Opera) show.
