The Paris Opera wants you to 'feel first, understand later'
One of the world's most iconic cultural institutions, the Paris Opera, invites audiences to experience emotion before intellect. Founded by Louis XIV in 1669, it has shaped centuries of artistic expression, balancing opera and ballet in equal measure.
But behind the grandeur of the Palais Garnier lies a simple truth, your first connection to art doesn't need expertise, just openness. Whether you're drawn to theatre, sculpture, or sound, there's an opera waiting to resonate with you. The experience begins, not just on stage, but the moment you step inside.
