The Opéra Garnier is one of the Paris National Opera's two home venues in the city. It was built from 1861 to 1875 on a commission of Napoleon III, along with the Place de l'Opéra on which the building stands, at the intersection of Boulevard des Capucines and Avenue de l'Opéra. Inaugurated as "le Nouvel opéra de Paris" (the New Paris Opera), the venue became known as the "Palais Garnier" within the first decades of its existence, acknowleding the plans and designs of its architect Charles Garnier. The Paris National Opera now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for ballet. The Palais Garnier also houses the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Library-Museum), although the Library-Museum is no longer managed by the Opera and is part of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
The Opera House covers 1,8 hectares of land. It is 183 metres long and about 120 metres wide at its widest point. The roofs of the House are constructed of 1.056.000 glazed white granite tiles, imported from Sweden.
Opera is a famous Theater Art of Italy. It was started in 1600s. At the beginning there were elements such as singing and dancing. But, French was the first country who added the element of dancing to opera. As per Italian language, opera indicates works and in Latin it stands for the plural of labor. This means that there can be duet, trio, and group singing. It also uses several aspects of the spoken theater, like costume and backdrop.
