A model for many auditoriums around the world, this fine piece of design was constructed in the time of Napoleon III as part of Haussmann's city development scheme, Charles Garnier submitted the winning design for the Palais and construction lasted from 1860 to 1875. Major refurbishment has since been undertaken to restore the sumptuousness of the Palais, a style that was typical of the Second Empire. Le Groupe de la Danse de Carpeaux, the marble Grand Staircase, the red and gold auditorium, the ceiling by Chagall and an 8 tonne crystal chandelier – all these components are all designed for a heightened appreciation of performance and illusion. Home to the world famous Ballet de l'Opera, Opéra Garnier presents an extensive repertoire of contemporary music and dance in addition to the popular classical pieces.
