A
Opéra Bastille
Despite some initial resistance to this 3400-seat venue, the main opera house in the capital, is now performing superbly. While less alluring than Palais Garnier, seats in the main hall have an unrestricted view of the stage. Ticket sales begin at a precise date prior to each performance, with different opening dates for bookings by telephone, online or from the box office. Note: On the first day they are released, box office tickets can be bought only from the opera house at which the performance is to be held. At Bastille, standing-only tickets for €5 are available 1½ hours before performances begin.

B
Palais Garnier
The city’s original opera house is intimate and glam, but some seats have limited (or no!) view. Ticket prices and conditions (including last-minute discounts) at the box office are identical to those at Opéra Bastille.
