The Opera Garnier: What to see and what to know
The Palais Garnier, located just a 7-minute walk from the Relais Madeleine, offers two types of entertainment: the shows and the tour. How much does it cost to see a show? How can you buy a discounted ticket? What will you see if you visit the Opéra?
Seeing a show at Garnier is not necessarily expensive
The programming is divided into operas, ballets, and concerts and is mainly geared toward classical performances.
The Opéra Garnier is an Italian-style theater. Spectators are seated facing the stage, and the U-shaped room is structured into several levels. The stage is raised, with a slight incline.
Like all Italian-style theaters, the ease of visibility of the stage varies from one seat to another and the ticket prices vary accordingly. This means that, for an opera, ticket prices range over ten categories, from €5 to €200-250. So seeing a show at Garnier is not necessarily expensive.
If you'd like to see a concert, the ticket price is quite affordable - usually €10 to €30.
Moreover, to enjoy category 1 seats for 50% off, you can visit the La Madeleine booth at 15 place de la Madeleine, Tuesdays through Saturdays from 12:30 PM to 8:00 PM and Sundays from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM. Seats are sold for shows taking place the same day.
