La Ópera Garnier, también conocida como Palacio Garnier u Ópera de París, es uno de los edificios más característicos del IX Distrito de París y del paisaje urbano de la capital francesa. Napoleón III ordenó su construcción al arquitecto Charles Garnier, quien lo diseñó en Estilo Imperio.
Desde su inauguración en 1875, la ópera fue llamada oficialmente Academia Nacional de Música-Teatro de la Ópera. Conservó su título hasta 1978, cuando fue renombrada Teatro Nacional de la Ópera de París. En 1989 la Compañía de la Ópera trasladó su sede al recién construido Teatro de la Bastilla y su vieja sede recibió el nombre de Palacio Garnier, donde permanece la Academia Nacional de Música. A pesar del cambio de nombre oficial y del traslado de la Compañía de la Ópera, el Palacio Garnier sigue siendo conocido popularmente por el nombre de Ópera de Garnier en París.
The Garnier Opera, also known as the Garnier Palace or the Paris Opera, is one of the most characteristic buildings of the IX District of Paris and the urban landscape of the French capital. Napoleon III ordered its construction to the architect Charles Garnier, who designed it in Empire Style.
Since its inauguration in 1875, the opera was officially called the National Academy of Music-Opera House. It retained its title until 1978, when it was renamed National Opera House in Paris. In 1989 the Opera Company moved its headquarters to the newly built Bastille Theater and its old headquarters was named Garnier Palace, where the National Academy of Music remains. Despite the change of official name and the transfer of the Opera Company, the Garnier Palace is still popularly known by the name of Opera de Garnier in Paris.

"Now that day has exhausted me
I give myself over, a tired child,
to the night and to my old friends, the stars–
my watchful guardians, quiet and mild.
Hands–let everything go.
Head–stop thinking.
I am content to follow
where my senses are sinking.
Into the darkness, I swim out free:
Soul, released from all your defenses,
enter the magic, sidereal circle
where the gathering of souls commences."
—Herman Hesse "When I Go To Sleep" (Beim Schlafengehen).

Salle de spectacle / The Auditorium. Charles Garnier built the auditorium in the tradition of an Italian theatre. Shaped like a horseshoe, the stalls are overlooked by several tiers of boxes and balconies allowing as much to see as be seen.
The ceiling by Marc Chagall was inaugurated in 1964 and affixed over the former one by Jules Eugène Lenepveu. Chagall completed the pantheon of opera composers whilst paying tribute to Garnier, with whom he shared a taste for shimmering colours
