They were rehearsing when we visited the Opera so we only had a quick moment to view the auditorium and see the Chagal glass in the dome/skylight. And we couldn’t take pictures. But it was pretty cool to watch the ballet dancer, a guy, dance like a chicken with more and more intensity as driven by the director. I do believe now the Palais Garner is the home of the Paris Ballet and the Opera lives over in a much newer but also large-and-built-to-impress building.
We couldn’t go in, but we did see famous door to box number 5 where the Phantom of the Opera played Mr. Creepy Stalker.
The library was heaven. I love this place and want it in my home. Those folks are looking in on models of sets from various famous productions.
If I knew my opera better I’d probably be able to tell you what opera this was.
Downstairs they had my favorites – costumes!!!
