Behind the Scenes Opera de Paris Tour - 11h30 Information

Description

Discover a legendary opera house! The Palais Garnier is the thirteenth theatre to house the Paris Opera since it was founded in 1669.

We offer you a peek into its history through a guided tour of its public areas including the Grand Staircase which is one of the most famous features of the Palais Garnier. Built in marble of various colours, the double stairway leads to the foyers and the different levels of the auditorium. The red and gold Italian-style horseshoe-shaped auditorium contains 1,900 red velvet seats and a magnificent stage screen represents a draped curtain with gold braids and pompoms. The room is lit by an immense crystal chandelier hanging below Marc Chagall's famous brightly coloured ceiling. You will discover the historical, social, architectural issues and artistic life of this legendary opera.
