Opéra
This is one of
Paris's two opera houses, designed in neo-Classical style by Charles Garnier
and inaugurated in 1875. In spite of its huge size, it only seats 2200
people. The grand staircase and the auditorium reflect
the splendour of the late 19th century in
terms of decoration. The cupola
over the auditorium was decorated by Marc
Chagall in 1962. Recently given a facelift, the Opéra
Garnier is
undoubtedly one of Paris's inest monuments and a must for any visitor to the French capital.
