The most famous opera house in the world - Paris Opera

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 The Paris Opera House, also known as the Palais Garnier Opera House, is named after the architect Charles Garnier. It is a place where the French upper class enjoys opera. Both the interior decoration and exterior architecture are extremely luxurious, and it has the largest stage in the world. The theater has 2,200 seats and can accommodate 450 actors at the same time. The hanging branch chandelier in the performance hall weighs about eight tons, and the magnificent lounge is comparable to the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. The new opera house was built in 1875 in the neo-Baroque style. It is also the birthplace of the original "Phantom of the Opera". The longest-running musical in Broadway history, "The Phantom of the Opera," officially bid farewell in April this year after 35 years and 13,981 performances.
