What to expect

Dive into the fascinating world of the Opéra Garnier or Palais Garnier, which was designed by Napoleon III, and built by Charles Garnier, a young architect with little experience who became known internationally by Gaston Leroux and his Phantom of the Opera. A symbol of Paris, it is the only active theatre in the world to be both a place of art as well as a magnificent building bursting with history. As always, the Opera house today is itself an artwork and a true architectural gem, with its imperial crown dome fancy theater curtain through which one can glide to reach the grand staircase. Under the Palais Garnier dome, among the gilding and red velvet, the monumental fresco by Marc Chagall is striking and unusual in its modernity. The windows of the Grand Foyer, overlooking the avenue are every bit as good as the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Paris Opera House is an architectural masterpiece and an absolute must-see.

It’s Valid!

I got nervous after ordering my tickets, because I didn’t get the email with the tickets until the next day. I got the confirmation email right away, but not the actual tickets until the next day. Then I read some bad reviews from other people saying they had gotten scammed. So I got nervous. But then the tickets came in an email, and they worked! I’ll also tell you that all the other ticket sites were sold out of their tickets for this event (touring the Palais Garnier), as well as tickets directly at the Palais Garnier. People were being turned away. So I was very happy to find these tickets! I will use this site again in the future to buy tickets, for sure.

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.

A wonderful Weekend in Paris

Thanks to „Come to Paris“ we were able to visit the Palais Garnier short notice as we did not expect that tickets will be sold out so quickly! In the end we paid a lot more then the regular ticket price but thats the price for our lack in organization. Happy that I found Come to Paris Website.
