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.

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.

These little ballerina outfits in the museum store at the Opéra Garnier de Paris brought back memories. As a child I was very much the tomboy (not a big surprise to anyone who knows me these many decades later). When I was six all the girls in my neighborhood were taking ballet lessons from a washed up ballerina who lived in the area. I loved the puffy dresses and did have my own dance routine that I believed I was entertaining my parents with in the evenings, so my Mom enrolled me in ballet class. I think it was about the third week and the old ballerina suggested that maybe I should go back to playing football with the neighborhood boys. I jumped at the opportunity and started my long career of sitting in the audience and enjoying my friends perform the Nutcracker.
Ah Paris, thank you for the memories.

Paris is the capital and most populous city of France, with an area of 105 square kilometres (41 square miles) and an official estimated population of 2,140,526 residents as of 1 January 2019. Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of Europe's major centres of finance, commerce, fashion, science, and the arts.
The City of Paris is the centre and seat of government of the Ăle-de-France, or Paris Region, which has an estimated official 2019 population of 12,213,364, or about 18 percent of the population of France. The Paris Region had a GDP of âŹ681 billion (US$850 billion) in 2016, accounting for 31 percent of the GDP of France, and was the 5th largest region by GDP in the world. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit Worldwide Cost of Living Survey in 2018, Paris was the second-most expensive city in the world, behind Singapore and ahead of Zurich, Hong Kong, Oslo and Geneva.
The city is a major rail, highway, and air-transport hub served by two international airports: Paris-Charles de Gaulle (the second busiest airport in Europe) and Paris-Orly. Opened in 1900, the city's subway system, the Paris MĂ©tro, serves 5.23 million passengers daily, and is the second busiest metro system in Europe after Moscow Metro. Gare du Nord is the 24th busiest railway station in the world, and the first located outside Japan, with 262 million passengers in 2015.
Paris is especially known for its museums and architectural landmarks: the Louvre was the most visited art museum in the world in 2018, with 10.2 million visitors. The MusĂ©e d'Orsay and MusĂ©e de l'Orangerie are noted for their collections of French Impressionist art, and the Pompidou Centre MusĂ©e National d'Art Moderne has the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe. The historical district along the Seine in the city centre is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site. Popular landmarks in the centre of the city include the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris and the Gothic royal chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, both on the Ăle de la CitĂ©; the Eiffel Tower, constructed for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889; the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, built for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900; the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-ĂlysĂ©es, and the Basilica of SacrĂ©-Coeur on the hill of Montmartre. Paris received 23 million visitors in 2017, measured by hotel stays, with the largest numbers of foreign visitors coming from the United States, the UK, Germany and China. It was ranked as the third most visited travel destination in the world in 2017, after Bangkok and London.
The football club Paris Saint-Germain and the rugby union club Stade Français are based in Paris. The 80,000-seat Stade de France, built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is located just north of Paris in the neighbouring commune of Saint-Denis. Paris hosts the annual French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament on the red clay of Roland Garros. Paris hosted the Olympic Games in 1900, 1924 and will host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The 1938 and 1998 FIFA World Cups, the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and the 1960, 1984, and 2016 UEFA European Championships were also held in the city and, every July, the Tour de France bicycle race finishes there.

The Palais Garnier is a 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was 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 OpĂ©ra Garnier (pronounced [ÉpeÊa ÉĄaÊnje] French About this sound (help·info)) and historically was known as the OpĂ©ra de Paris or simply the OpĂ©ra, as it was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when the OpĂ©ra Bastille opened at the Place de la Bastille. The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.
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 the popular 1986 musical. Another contributing factor is that among the buildings constructed in Paris during the Second Empire, besides being the most expensive, it has been described as the only one that is "unquestionably a masterpiece of the first rank." This opinion is far from unanimous however: the 20th-century French architect Le Corbusier once described it as "a lying art" and contended that the "Garnier movement is a décor of the grave".
The Palais Garnier also houses the BibliothÚque-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 BibliothÚque Nationale de France. The museum is included in unaccompanied tours of the Palais Garnier.
