The Grand Staircase at Palais Garnier
Paris Opera. Paris, France
The Palais Garnier, also known as the Opéra de Paris or Opéra Garnier,
but more commonly as the Paris Opéra, is a 2,200-seat opera house on
the Place de l'Opéra in Paris, France. A grand landmark designed by
Charles Garnier in the Neo-Baroque style, it is regarded as one of the
architectural masterpieces of its time.
In 1896, one of the counter-weights for the grand chandelier fell, killing one. This, as well as the underground lake, cellars, and other elements of the Opera House, inspired Gaston Leroux in 1909 to write his classic Gothic novel, The Phantom of the Opera.
