The Chandelier. Fans of The Phantom Of The Opera will know it. Paintings on the ceiling have been created by Marc Chagall.
Begun in Second Empire Paris and finished in the Belle Epoque, this building by Charles Garnier is one of the icons of Paris and probably the world's most famous opera house. The theatricality of the architecture and design of the public spaces made the show outside the audience hall as important as anything going on on stage.
Opéra Garnier | Palace Garnier - Paris, France.
One of of the most opulent opera houses and palaces ever imagined and built can be found in Paris. The Opéra Garnier, designed by and named after its architect Charles Garnier, opened in 1875 after taking 14 years to build. It is known for being the setting of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel "The Phantom of the Opera." But what it's best known for is its over-the-top lavish interior, done mostly in Neo-Baroque and Beaux Arts style. The Palace is lit with crystal chandeliers and filled with multicolored marble, columns, and lavish statuary portraying Greek mythology deities.
Seen here is the entrance to the famed marble Grand Staircase which only gives you a small preview of the magnificence that lies ahead.

This beautiful scale model is in the Musée d'Orsay.
The Palais Garnier has been called "probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur Basilica. This is at least partly due to its use as the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera and, especially, the novel's subsequent adaptations in films and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular 1986 musical.
Here is the famous chandelier from the Opera Garnier - the one that falls on the audience at the end of the first act of the Phantom of the Opera! I'd be a bit nervous sitting under it during a performance, particularly if they were performing the musical!
Of course, it's a replica, like many things I saw, and the ceiling is a Marc Chagall painting that was installed in the 1960s. It features famous scenes from operas.

The Grand Foyer - Palais Garnier - Paris, France.
Definitely not something you'd describe as understated elegance, the Grand Foyer at the Palace Garnier is, in all its grandiose meaning, opulent and over-the-top much like the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. It was modeled upon the Grand Théatre de Bordeaux and the elegant French and Italian residences of the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Palace Garnier was built from 1861 to 1875. It is also the house of the Paris Opera - the Opera Garnier which is one of the most famous opera houses in the world.

This opera box at the Paris Opera House was actually designed by Charles Garnier for Napoleon III but the French leader did not live to see the completion of Opéra Garnier. But it is where the Phantom sits.
Today, while the novel "The Phantom of the Opera" by French writer Gaston Leroux is almost forgotten and there are regular tours for French children to remind them, for British and Americans the success of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical adds a very different thrill to this view.
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.
The Grand Staircase - Opera Garnier | Palais Garnier - Paris, France.
Only one of the many great features of the Palace Garnier is its Grand Staircase that, true to its name, welcomes you in a grand way as you enter the palace. The double staircases, surrounded by colorful marble columns and balconies, bring you to different levels of the palace and its beautiful foyers. Guests to the opera would mingle here while waiting for the next performance.
