The construction of this opera was started back in 1861 - in the era of Napoleon III, the brilliant second Empire - glorious decades of domination of luxury and beauty in all its possible manifestations.The new opera house was supposed to become one of the symbols of the new Paris: it was during these years that Baron Haussmann's large-scale reconstruction of the city was underway, during which the capital of France would acquire the look that we love so much now. The competition for the construction of a new opera house was won by a young, almost unknown architect, Charles Garnier, at that time he was only 35 years old.I must say that this monument, in my opinion, turned out to be quite successful: few other places have I ever seen so much luxury and splendor before (except Versailles or the Louvre, but there it is quite understandable - after all, royal residences).The magnificent decoration, abundance of gilding and marble, magnificent sculptures and huge paintings - all this literally captures the visitor from the first steps. At the same time, the eclectic decor, pretentiousness, combined with the closed, as if isolated space of many rooms of the theater, create a sense of mystery, fabulousness or magic.So, at first, the visitor is greeted by the Pythia pool: thanks to the marble of different colors, a low vault decorated with a floral pattern, it looks more like a kind of secret grotto, which at the same time is a portal to a fabulous world.
