Exploring the Paris Opera House

The Paris Opera House, often referred to as "the world's most famous opera house," is considered one of the symbols of Paris alongside Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Some scenes from "The Phantom of the Opera" were set in the opera house, which adds to its allure for visitors. The opera house is truly magnificent, blending grandeur with elegance seamlessly! Its hall, inspired by the Palace of Versailles, is resplendent with golden decorations, chandeliers, and stunning ceiling murals. The grand staircase, made of white marble, is adorned with gilded and bronze candelabras. The theater itself is lavishly decorated in red and gold tones, and the painted ceiling is breathtaking. Even without attending a performance, the guided tour is absolutely worthwhile!
