THIS is the auditorium inside the Palais Garnier!!! What a spectacular surprise! I had not read about the building before arriving, so after all the grand classical frescos elsewhere in the building, I was delighted to look up and find this modern art fresco! SO awesome!!! Of course I should have guess it was done by Marc Chagall, but did not learn that until later.Here are a few other pics and closeups from the auditorium...
The auditorium truly was a trip highlight for me... I bought a huge postcard (10x12?) for 5E of the ceiling .... but I am also hoping one of my pics will be frameable when I get home (home? what's that? oh yeah, I don't have one of those anymore... LOL) But, alas, there are a few more pics still.... these from the library...
At the entrance to the library they have about a dozen little reproductions/models of stages from certain performances.... This one was from Tristan et Isolde...
This one was from Salammbo...
A hallway into the library....
I really can't say much more.... the pics speak for themselves ;-)
