You've got to love a good staircase and the Paris Opera House has plenty of those! Sadly you're not allowed to use a tripod, but we all know that just means you can use a tripod as long as no-one notices you. I'm a big fan of mixing interiors and exteriors when I visit a city. Interiors are great for during the day or if the weather is pretty bad. That can be my travel photography tip of the day.
Designed by Charles Garnier, Palais Garnier was the primary home of the Paris Opera from 1875 until 1989. Upon its inauguration during 1875, the opera house was named officially the Académie Nationale de Musique - Théâtre de l'Opéra. It retained this title until 1978 when it was re-named the Théâtre National de l'Opéra de Paris.
After the opera company chose the Opéra Bastille as their principal theatre upon its completion during 1989, the theatre was re-named as the Palais Garnier, though Académie Nationale de Musique is still sprawled above the columns of its front façade. In spite of the change of names and the Opera company's relocation to the Opéra Bastille, the Palais Garnier is still known by many people as the Paris Opéra, as have all of the several theatres which have served as the principal venues of the Parisian Opera and Ballet since its initiation.
This building is the inspiration and setting for the novel, The Phantom of the Opera (Le Fantôme de l'Opéra).

The Opéra Garnier is a national theater which has the vocation to be an academy of music, choreography and lyric poetry; it is a major element of the heritage of the 9th district of Paris and the capital. It is located on the Place de l'Opéra, at the northern end of the Avenue de l'Opéra and at the crossroads of many roads.
The building is a particularly representative monument of the eclectic architecture and historicist style of the second half of the 19th century. Based on a design by the architect Charles Garnier, chosen following a competition, its construction, decided by Napoleon III as part of the transformation of Paris led by the prefect Haussmann and interrupted by the war of 1870, was resumed at the beginning of the Third Republic, after the destruction by fire of the opera Le Peletier in 1873. The building was inaugurated on January 5, 1875 by President Mac Mahon under the Third Republic.
Visiting L'Opéra Garnier in Paris was quite something! The building is famously rich in ornamentation.

The Palais Garnier is an elegant 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 was also often referred to as the Opéra Garnier, the Opéra de Paris or simply the Opéra.[7] It was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when a new 2,700-seat house, the Opéra Bastille, with elaborate facilities for set and production changes, opened at the Place de la Bastille.[8]
The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.
The Palais Garnier is "probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur basilica."[9] This is at least partly due to its use as the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel The Phantom of the Opera and the novel's subsequent adaptations in films and Andrew Lloyd Weber's popular 1986 musical.[9] Another contributing factor is that among the buildings constructed in Paris during the Second Empire, besides being the most expensive,[10] it has been described as the only one that is "unquestionably a masterpiece of the first rank

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
The ceiling of the Palais Garnier auditorium was painted by Marc Chagall. It was inaugurated on September 23, 1964 and according to the tour guide Chagall worked for free. I wonder if the Metropolitan Opera House paid him for those front of house masterpieces that were unveiled two years later.
Something else the tour guide said was that the painting was not originally meant to be permanent and she wondered if Chagall placed the Eiffel Tower in the painting because that was also meant to be a temporary installation.
And for Phantom of the Opera fans that chandelier is 8 tons of bronze and crystal with 340 lights.
Eerie surroundings in the Paris Opera House help set the Gothic mood for such works as the "Phantom of the Opera"
I have only been to a couple of opera theatres in my life and i'm sure after this, I don't need to go seeking for more as this incredible place simply blows anyone's socks off! :D According to wikipedia, this is probably the most famous opera house in the world (besides Sydney opera house ..that's my own opinion of coz ;)) there is no reason to disagree considering the rich history & the number of famous performance held in there. Besides that, i believe there are no other places that would have that stunning interior & furnishings that even come close to what this place offers! You gotta see to believe it ;) Incroyable! <- That's french btw! :P

The Opéra Garnier was completed in 1874 as part of Baron Haussmann's redesign of Paris for Napoleon III. Charles Garnier designed this opulent palace for the developing Bourgeoisie to see and be seen. Today we all seem to take photos of each other in this highly decorated space.
