Palais Garnier, Opera de Paris
Detail of facade of Palais Garnier, 1860-75, by Charles Garnier (1825-98), Paris, France. Commissioned by Napoleon III as part of the Haussmann Parisian reconstruction project, the Palais Garnier is the 13th theatre to house the Paris Opera since its foundation, 1669, by Louis XIV. Its construction was interrupted by current events such as the Franco-Prussian War, the fall of the Empire and the Paris Commune. The Neo-Classical facade was renovated in 2000.
