The interior of the Palais Garnier Opera House is exquisite as evident by the Grand Foyer’s ceiling which shows highlights of musical history. But you’ll also be wowed by the marble grand staircase, the salons, numerous beautiful statues, huge auditorium, and a seven ton chandelier. One chandelier fell in 1896 and killed a patron which inspired the 1910 novel “Phantom of the Opera.” I could almost hear the soundtrack from the film and musical.
