L'Opéra de Charles Garnier (anglais)

Following the meticulous restoration that returned the Grand Foyer to its original splendor, this book offers a stunning look inside the world-famous Paris Opera House.

The space is nothing short of magical. Beyond its shimmering, theatrical façade, visitors are invited on an almost spiritual journey—one filled with exotic materials, dramatic perspectives, imagined obstacles, and breathtaking passageways. Every detail—paintings, sculptures, colorful statues, gilding, marble, and mosaics—captures the eye and sets the stage for the lyrical performances to come.

The interior itself is a masterpiece, a continuous and harmonious work of art fully integrated into the building it was created for. Charles Garnier’s Opera House stands not only as a cultural landmark but also as a remarkable museum of 19th-century sculpture and painting.
