The Grand foyer hall, 59 ft high, 505 ft long and 43 ft wide, was designed to act as a drawing room for Paris society. It was restored in 2004. Its ceiling was painted by Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry and represents various moments in the history of music.
Isn’t this room amazing? It’s not in the main part of the Paris Opera House, but it had the most ornate and Inception-esque room I’ve seen in a while. I took this photo while in the middle of experimenting with the Nikon fisheye lens. It seemed to fit the bill for these ornate grand locations that are still in a relatively confined space.

The Grand Foyer was designed by Charles Garnier like the galleries of the castles of the classical age. The interplay of mirrors and windows accentuates its vast dimensions. The magnificent ceiling painted by Paul Baudry depicts themes from the history of music. The lyre is the main decorative element and dominates the entire decorative vocabulary, from the capitals to the heating grills and door handles. A copy of the bust of Charles Garnier by the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux is located in the centre of the foyer, near one of the windows from which the view of the Avenue de l'Opéra to the Louvre can be seen. The two galleries communicate with each other, making it possible to organise gala dinners for up to 700 people.

Le Grand Foyer a été conçu par Charles Garnier comme les galeries des châteaux de l’âge classique. Le jeu des miroirs et des fenêtres accentue encore ses vastes dimensions. Le magnifique plafond peint par Paul Baudry décline des thèmes de l’histoire de la musique. La lyre est l’élément décoratif principal, elle règne sur tout le vocabulaire décoratif, sur les chapiteaux comme sur les grilles de chauffage ou les poignées de porte. Une copie du buste de Charles Garnier réalisée par le sculpteur Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux se trouve au centre du foyer, près d’une des fenêtres d’où l’on découvre la perspective de l’avenue de l’Opéra jusqu’au Louvre. Les deux galeries communiquent entre elles, permettant ainsi d’organiser des dîners de Gala jusqu’à 700 personnes.

Palais Garnier - Opéra national de Paris, Paris, France
The Palais Garnier (also known as the Opera Garnier) was probably my favorite sight in Paris. Musical theater and opera are intrinsic to my family, and this is the opera house that inspired the story of the Phantom of the Opera. They even have a box reserved for him!
The Palais Garnier is a 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was originally called the Salle des Capucines, because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, but soon became known as the Palais Garnier, in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier. The theatre is also often referred to as the Opéra Garnier and historically was known as the Opéra de Paris or simply the Opéra, as it was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when the Opéra Bastille opened at the Place de la Bastille. The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.

Beautiful chandelier in the Paris Opera House ceiling 2010. The colorful mural was painted by Marc Chagall in 1964. This phoho is now available for licencing at PicFair: www.picfair.com/pics/015452477-chandelier-in-paris-opera-...
I stole this photo-taking idea from Matt Knisely! At first, I would lay down on my back and try to get the shot. But that was frustrating and bothersome. Then I saw Matt just put his camera on the ground with a timer then run away! So that’s what I did to get this shot… although it took a few takes to get it to line up right…

Après des années passées à visiter Paris, je n'aurai jamais cru pouvoir être encore sidéré par la beauté d'un monument comme celui ci
L'Òpera Garnier, coneguda també com a Palau Garnier o l'Òpera de París, és un edifici d'estil neobarroc que Napoleó III encarregà a l'arquitecte Charles Garnier.
Inaugurat en 1875, l'Òpera de París ocupa 11.000 metres quadrats, té una capacitat aproximada de 2200 espectadors i un extens escenari per a 450 artistes. L'edifici, monumental, està opulentament decorat amb frisos multicolors elaborats en marbre, columnes i luxoses estàtues, moltes d'elles representant a divinitats de la mitologia grega. Entre les columnes de la façana frontal hi ha busts de compositors famosos com Mozart i Beethoven. L'interior està adornat amb vellut, fulles daurades, nimfes i querubins. L'aranya de llums de l'auditori central pesa més de 6 tones i l'àrea del sostre al seu voltant té una pintura de 1964 feta per Marc Chagall, que ha estat font de moltes controvèrsies.
Aquest lloc em va recordar molt la sala dels miralls de Versailles.
Des de 1923 està inscrita com a Monument Històric francès.
This room is photographed by everyone that visits the Palais Garnier in Paris, but hopefully I have done it justice. Although ornate, it is strikingly beautiful, and unlike Versailles, it is not mobbed by tourists, so you can appreciate it!
Photo taken from when I was living in Paris. When walking the streets of Paris, always look up, there are so many lovely details to see in the architecture.
