Exterior of the Opera
I bought the performance tickets a week in advance, even with that amount of lead time I still nearly missed getting seats.Grand Opera Feb 24, 2005
To see a performance at the Paris Opera House should be high on anyone’s list of must sees when in Paris. This is one of the few events that I remember the actual date that I was there (birthday). All other dates for attractions and towns are close approximates (typically within two or three days) no further than a week off at the very worst.
All I can say is wow, stunning, incredible. While the seat was nothing to write home about the whole cultural experience was one that I’ll never forget. I hope to return to the opera house again in the future.
My suggestion to you is prebook tickets if you really want to go. You won’t regret it even if the performance is a yawn.
Oh yes, this was one of the few times that I got to wear my suit jacket that I’d packed along with me. I was very surprised that it was in as good of condition that it was after eight months of on the road travel.
Au revoir!

I could feel the excitement of your Parisian Opera experience while viewing your excellent photos. For my last year's trip to Poland, I had purchased a new Blazer and dress slacks in hope that a concert performance in Warsaw or Krakow would coincide with our visit, but this turned out to be the only disappointment in our travels there. We even missed out on the piano performance at the home of Fredrick Chopin. This was really a let down, but I survived! Jim
