A tour-show in the heart of the Opéra Garnier
Immerse yourself in a show tour where an actor or actress will guide you inside the Opéra Garnier. Through a real script, you will (re)discover this iconic monument and the historical anecdotes that make it famous. Get ready for an unforgettable and unusual tour!
Scenario
You will meet a stunning dancer from the Paris Opera Ballet. Florie, Marion, and Suzanne have shared the same dream since childhood: to become dancers at the Opéra Garnier. For years, they worked, hoped, and sacrificed... until the day when the doors of the Palais Garnier finally opened before them.
But when it came time to make their dearest wish, facing a mysterious statue of the Opera, none of them asked to become a dancer. Each made a completely different choice.
Today, one of them will invite you to discover her story in Un Amour d'Opéra.
Important Information
For reasons related to the Opera's activities, the show hall may be inaccessible without prior notice. Rehearsals result in frequent and unpredictable closures. Its opening is not guaranteed during the tour, and no ticket guarantees access.
The tour is a narrated and dramatized tour. To make the most of the experience, it is essential to choose a time slot in a language that you understand and speak fluently.
