This visit would have rated five stars, except that the Auditorium was closed to the public, so we were unable to view the Chagall ceiling, which was the primary prpose of our visit. Whilst that was a disappointment, I recognise that it was closed for necessary reasons and through no fault of the Opera House management. The remainder of the house was undeniably magnificent and well worth a visit in its own right. The cost was an extremely reasonable Eur 15 and was very good value. The venue was well run with a welcoming and helpful team.

Tres bel endroit mais malheureusement on ne nous avait pas avertis que la salle de spectacle avec son célèbre plafond peint par Chagall était ce jour là fermée au public … nous aurions choisis une autre journée le sachant …

We only had a short period of time to view & see the Opera House. It didn’t look like there were any tickets available on the Opera’s website so we used Come to Paris & found it easy to purchase tickets to get in. We were very happy with our experience.

Great traditional beauty!
It was a fabulous building with so much beauty to be seen. However, the crowds of people hampered our enjoyment a bit. This is a must-see when in Paris. The table for the self-guided tour was a bit confusing to use, so we just didn't really find it very helpful. We very much enjoyed see the magnificent monument.

Check the website for closures before going!
Sadly, we did not realize that we should check the website prior to our arrival. Our ticket date was for Tues, Sept 10, and the Opera House was closed. We were told then that our tickets are good for a full year. We had hoped to come back another day this week but was not able to. We are in Paris for only one week. An email advising ticket holders of the closure and our options would have been nice as we now have no chance to use our tickets. We did visit the Librarie and purchased a lovely book.

Beautiful place to visite when in Paris. As this was a self guided tour, you can visite the Palais at your own pace.

Beautiful building with great history. They were setting up for the Nutcracker but still was beautiful to see. The site allowed me to purchase last minute, same day, and we got in no problem.

the self guided tour is the best way to travel through the opera house. You do not have a time limit and can see one of the most beautiful buildings both inside and outside, to see in Paris.

Schneller Einlass, nicht zu voll. Unglaublicher Prunk und kunstvolle Arbeiten. Angenehme Atmosphäre, schön war, dass man in den Aufführungssaal hineinschauen konnte. Gerne würde ich eine Aufführung besuchen.

Trop de monde pour profiter pleinement.

L'opéra est magnifique et à découvrir absolument.
Dommage que le nombre de visiteurs ne soit pas plus limité car c'était parfois à la limite de la bousculade.
Et au détriment de la découverte de cet endroit fabuleux.
Les poses photos successives en haut de l'escalier frisent souvent le ridicule...on se croirait sur un plateau de shooting photos !!

Editorial Review

Eric RENAUD
4.5/5
The Opéra Garnier, a must-see landmark of culture and art.

The Palais Garnier, a true gem of Parisian architecture, embodies the very essence of the 19th century and the splendor of French culture. Inaugurated in 1875, this building is not only a temple of music and dance but also a symbol of elegance and artistic innovation. Designed by architect Charles Garnier, its eclectic style blends baroque and classical elements, creating a majestic atmosphere that captivates every visitor.

Guests cannot help but be awed by the wealth of details that adorn both the façade and the interior of the opera house. The gilded decorations, frescoes, and dazzling chandeliers are testaments to the devotion to art and the pursuit of beauty that characterize this edifice. The famous grand staircase, with its elegant lines and colorful marbles, is one of many features that contribute to making this place an unforgettable experience.

As a performance venue, the Palais Garnier has hosted some of the greatest classical and contemporary works. Audiences gather here to enjoy ballets, operas, and concerts, immersed in an ambiance that has transcended time. The acoustics of the auditorium are often praised, allowing voices and instruments to resonate fully within this cultural cocoon.

Moreover, the Palais Garnier reflects the history of Paris, having withstood tumultuous periods while remaining a beacon of artistic creativity. Strolling through its corridors, one can feel the echoes of the dreams and passions of the artists who have graced its stage. Visiting this place is to dive into a realm where art, history, and architecture beautifully intersect. The Palais Garnier is not just a building; it is a sensory and emotional experience, a must-visit for anyone interested in the beauty of culture.
