Good to get inside but the tour was limited and steps/directions to see the facility were at times confusing.

Loved it. It was beautiful and having a ticket meant not being in the waiting line. It sold out so I was happy that I bought ahead of time.

The Opera was ah inspiring, the opulence was not to be believed, the craftsmanship on the displayed costumes detail you would not see from the audience

Unsafe entrance procedure, otherwise wonderful visit
Published over a year ago

We loved visiting the Opera Garnier. It was an amazing building and the audio guide made it much more meaningful.

However, we arrived a little before 10am on Monday and stood outside with some other people waiting to enter. At 10am, someone came and opened the gate but there was zero organization regarding getting inside. A rush of people through the gate was created, resulting in an unsafe situation when someone could have been hurt or trampled.

The rest of the visit was lovely, but the entrance could be improved greatly.

Prachtig gebouw/monument! Genoten van de eerste trede die je neemt om de imposante trappenhal naar boven te stappen. Ook waande ik me even in een franse filmklassieker namelijk La Grande Vadrouille.

Love our self-guided tour at The Opéra Garnier. We were there around 3 pm on a Thursday and the lineup was short and we are able to enter quickly. The experience was amazing!

Was beautiful and historic! I was so excited to go because I love the Phantom of the Opera. We did the self guided tour which I found somewhat confusing. I wish they would have had more signage pointing things out or explaining where to go. I felt as though we kept going in circles! I would suggest a guided tour if you want to see it all and not feel lost!

too small number of the self guide machines. long que of getting them should be improved.
more opera DVDs are required to sell at proper price.

The self-guided tour with the pad for directions, pictures, and stories was great. We didn’t need to try and hear a personal guide over the noise in the rooms. Great option for this visit.

Jaw-dropping oppulence!
Published over a year ago
My family and I visited Versailles recently and loved the tour. What a treat to be able to walk where history was made! Every room, story and artifact was described well, but not so much detail that the tour got stiff or boring. The tour was just enough detail to keep us informed without overwhelming us. We loved the stories too!

MERCI CATHERINE ET HEREITI
May 23rd 2026

Mes amis et moi déplorons l’absence d’offices du tourisme dans la ville
Nous sommes très conscients qu’avec un téléphone nous pouvons tout trouver mais cela ne remplace pas le contact humain pour aider des personnes de plus de 70ans qui aiment visiter les villes
Heureusement en sonnant au siège social de l’office du tourisme car nous avions des problèmes pour retenir des places pour la visite du théâtre Garnier
Deux personnes nous ont accueilli avec une grande gentillesse délicatesse très respectueuses attentives et à l’écoute enfin 2 personnes avec de belles valeurs
UN GRAND MERCI À CATHERINE ET HEREITI

Meravigliosa. Non dimenticate che qui era di casa Rudolf Nureev e Maria Callas ma tantissimi artisti ancora in vita. È stato per me un privilegio poter entrare all' Opéra Garnier.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé cette visite, la richesse de cet édifice, la coupole peinte par Chagall était un but premier de notre visite..
Nous avons aussi apprécié de pouvoir entrer 30 minutes avant l’heure qui était indiquée duff et notre rdv billet de réservation, d’autant plus qu’il pleuvait..

Democraticen la visita a más gente

Ver y contemplar la arquitectura interior de L'Opéra Garnier no tiene pierde. Creo redundante agregar adjetivos superlativos porque cada un@ de nosotr@s que visita el edificio tiene una experiencia sobrecogedora observando la belleza de cada espacio, ojalá más gente tuviera el privilegio de conocerlo la forma ordenada como pude hacerlo

Sehenswert. Leider schmälert das Selfie-Verhalten anderer Gäste, insbesondere aus den asiatischen Raum, das Vergnügen.

De fácil ingreso con los tiquetes comprados de antemano. Está como siempre bellísima aunque lastimosamente está cerrado el anfiteatro y la zona de la orquesta lo que se advierte cuando hay ensayos
