Paris Opera


In an opulent building in central Paris designed by Charles Garnier in 1862, some of the most memorable moments in opera have taken place behind the curtain shown above. Today the "Opera de Paris Garnier" is used mainly for ballet performances, as operas in Paris are staged in the newer "Opera de Paris Bastille" building. However, any visit to Paris should include a tour of this truely remarkable place.
