The World's Most Beautiful Baroque Opera House: Opéra Garnier 🎭✨
🏛️How can you visit Paris without taking a trip to the opera house, ensuring a double delight for both the spirit and the eyes? 🏛️Today, Kama takes you to check out the Opéra Garnier in Paris, also known as the Paris Opera House, which has the reputation of being "the world's most famous opera house." It is considered a symbol of Paris, alongside Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Sacré-Cœur. 🏛️The Paris Opera House was built between 1861 and 1875 under the direction of Emperor Napoleon III and was designed by architect Charles Garnier, making it one of the exemplary models of neo-Baroque architecture. Parts of the opera house served as the setting for the 1910 novel "The Phantom of the Opera," and another factor contributing to the opera house's fame is its ornate style, decorated with exquisite, colorful marble beams, columns, and numerous statues, many of which are portraits of gods from Greek mythology. 🏛️In the front hall of the theater, you'll find bust bronze statues of famous composers such as Mozart and Beethoven displayed among the columns. Inside, there are interlacing corridors, stairwells, lounges, and platforms for socializing during intermissions. 🏛️The ceiling of the main performance hall features a painting by French artist Marc Chagall. 🏛️If you're in Paris and unsure about evening activities, consider attending a concert and taking a tour of this concert hall. #UnforgettableLandscapes #Paris #ParisOperaHouse #ParisMuseums #ParisExhibitions #OperaHouse #ParisFashionBlogger #FrenchArchitecture #plog
