It's scary how one of the most beautiful cities in the world competes for attention against those so-called smartphones.

The Palais Garnier is a 1,979-seat opera house built in 1875 for the Paris Opera, and designed by architect, Charles Garnier. 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 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." It was used as the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera and subsequent adaptations in films and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular 1986 musical.

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 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.

Thank You for your views!
Grand escalier / The grand stairway. Charles Garnier long reflected on the design of the Grand Stairway for the new Opera. In the end, he drew inspiration from the Grand-Thétre in Bordeaux. The steps, which go from concave to convex, are made of white marble from Seravezza (Italy). They hug the curve of the onyx balustrade, the pedestal of which is in green marble from Sweden and the 128 balusters in antique red marble
The Paris Opera
is the primary opera company of France. It was founded in 1669 by Louis XIV as the Académie d'Opéra, and shortly thereafter was placed under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Lully and officially renamed the Académie Royale de Musique, but continued to be known more simply as the Opéra. Classical ballet as we know it today arose within the Paris Opera as the Paris Opera Ballet and has remained an integral and important part of the company. Currently called the Opéra National de Paris, it mainly produces operas at its modern 2700-seat theatre Opéra Bastille which opened in 1989, and ballets and some classical operas at the older 1970-seat Palais Garnier which opened in 1875. Small scale and contemporary works are also staged in the 500-seat Amphitheatre under the Opéra Bastille.
The company's annual budget is in the order of 200 million euros, of which 100 million come from the French state and 70 million from box office receipts.[1] With this money, the company runs the two houses and supports a large permanent staff, which includes the orchestra of 170, a chorus of 110 and the corps de ballet of 150.
Each year, the Opéra presents about 380 performances of opera, ballet and other concerts, to a total audience of about 800,000 people (of which 17% come from abroad), which is a very good average seat occupancy rate of 94%. In the 2012/13 season, the Opéra presents 18 opera titles (two in a double bill), 13 ballets, 5 symphonic concerts and two vocal recitals, plus 15 other programmes. The company's training bodies are also active, with 7 concerts from the Atelier Lyrique and 4 programmes from the École de Danse.

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.
