A performance tour at the heart of the Opéra Garnier Immerse yourself in a show tour where an actor will guide you inside the Opéra Garnier. Following a real script, you will (re)discover this iconic monument and the historical anecdotes that have made 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 the time came to make their dearest wish, standing before a mysterious statue in the Opera House, none of them asked to become a dancer. Each of them 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 auditorium may be inaccessible without prior notice. Rehearsals result in frequent and unpredictable closures. Its being open during the tour is not guaranteed, and no ticket guarantees access to it. The tour is a narrated and dramatized tour. In order to fully enjoy the experience, it is essential to choose a time slot in a language that you understand and speak fluently. Additional information Admission tickets included.

Any late arrival, even by a minimal amount of time, will result in the Opera refusing access to the site, with no possibility of rescheduling, refund, or making up the visit. Departure point The departure point is at the corner of Rue Scribe and Rue Auber, under the column on the left (adorned with an eagle at the top), before the entrance gate. You will recognize your guide by their 'Un Amour d'Opéra' sign. It is important not to enter the Opera House, even if the security guards invite you to do so.
