About the Palais Garnier
The Palais Garnier, also called Opéra Garnier, is a historic opera house in Paris, France, with 1,979 seats. It stands on the Place de l'Opéra, within the city’s 9th arrondissement, and was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera at the request of Emperor Napoleon III. It was soon called the Palais Garnier, a nod to its opulence and to the plans of the architect Charles Garnier. It served as the main theater of the Paris Opera and its ballet until 1989, the year the Opéra Bastille opened as a new opera house.
The building is 154.9 meters (508 ft) long and rises 56 meters (184 ft) to the top of the stage flytower, with the facade reaching 32 meters (105 ft). Garnier's design follows the Napoleon III style, which was highly eclectic: Baroque elements, Palladio's classicism and Renaissance architecture are blended with axial symmetry and modern materials such as an iron framework. The facade draws on seventeen different kinds of material, set in elaborate multicolored marble friezes and columns and in lavish statuary, much of it portraying deities of Greek mythology.
Its fame owes something to Gaston Leroux’s novel The Phantom of the Opera, from 1910, which uses the building as its setting, and to later film versions and the popular 1986 musical. It has been called a symbol of Paris alongside Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre and the Sacré Coeur Basilica. Of the buildings put up in Paris during the Second Empire, it was the most expensive. The Palais Garnier also houses the Paris Opera Library-Museum, which the Bibliothèque Nationale de France manages. France has classed it as a monument historique since 1923.
