Palais Garnier is a historic 19th-century opera house located in Paris, France. It serves as a performing arts venue and also functions as a museum building, showcasing its opulent architecture.
The tour begins at the south façade to establish the 'Napoleon III' style and highlight the controversial 'The Dance' sculpture and the building's golden apex.

This lively group of figures once sparked such intense public outrage that it became a target for vandalism shortly after its unveiling.
This area focuses on the exclusive entrance for season-ticket holders and the intricate mosaic work that defines the building's polychromy.

This grand circular hall served as an exclusive gateway for the social elite who held seasonal subscriptions to the opera.
This 'theater within the theater' was the social heart of Paris; the images capture both the sweeping marble steps and the magnificent painted ceiling.

The sweeping curves of the Grand Staircase were designed as a stage where the audience itself became the performance during intermissions.

High above the stairs, grand paintings depict the power of music and the triumph of the gods, setting the stage for the night.
This stop covers the performance hall, Marc Chagall's modern ceiling, and the specific architectural features that inspired 'The Phantom of the Opera'.

This classic horseshoe-shaped hall was masterfully designed to seat nearly two thousand spectators in a setting that prioritized social appearance.
