Commanded by Napoleon III in 1860, Opera Palais Garnier was designed by Charles Garnier in an exuberant Baroque style.Garnier worked tirelessly on the project for over a decade, from 1862 to 1875. Today, the Opulent Monument is a symbol of Napoleon's imperial regime.Loggia describes composers' busts, including Rossini, Beethoven and Mozart, while the dome is covered with a statue of Apollo with allegorical figures of poetry and music.Most of the building's space is dedicated to the great foyer with his fabulous Grand Escaier, a marble entrance scale, adorned with golden lamps.The golden balconies, a huge crystal chandelier and a chagall ceiling painting adds to the theater marvel, creating the perfect dramatic background for cultural shows.In addition to the opera, there are ballet shows, classical music concerts and gala events.Participating in a show is a wonderful way to see the inside of the building and enjoy a charming evening.Another option is to visit (an entrance ticket is required) or take a guided tour during the day.The permanent collection of the museum contains drawings of costumes and landscapes, models and paintings of the building.The connoisseurs of the refined table will be delighted to discover Coco, an elegant restaurant within the work (entrance is on Place Jacques-Rouché) that serves refined dishes from contemporary cuisine, prepared from seasonal ingredients.
