点评:Palais Garnier is the old opera house of Paris, and the location where you would be if you got off the Metro at Opera, but now it hosts primarily ballets while operas are at Opera Bastille. Lucky for us, there was a performance in Palais Garnier on one of the nights of this trip and I bought tickets online as soon as they went on sale. Undoubtedly the quality of seating might vary with the class of ticket, but we chose something just below the top range and the seats were like nothing I've experienced in New York or London. Palais Garnier is elaborate, which is not the taste of everyone, but one can appreciate the style and elegance without deciding they would like to refurbish their living room in the same fashion. If you can't see a performance during your stay in Paris, you can certainly tour the facilities. But, just walking up the grand staircase in order to get to your seats is a remarkable experience. The ceiling painting in the outer hall is more traditional, while inside the theater the ceiling mural was later painted by Marc Chagall.
翻译:加尼叶歌剧院是巴黎古老的歌剧院,如果你在歌剧院下地铁,你就会到达那里。但现在,这里主要上演芭蕾舞剧,而歌剧则在巴士底歌剧院上演。我们很幸运,这次旅行的某个晚上,加尼叶歌剧院有一场演出,门票一开售我就在网上买了。当然,座位的质量会因票价等级而异,但我们选了略低于顶级票价的票,那里的座位是我在纽约或伦敦体验过的,完全不一样。加尼叶歌剧院的装饰精美,并非每个人都能欣赏,但人们可以欣赏它的风格和优雅,而不必担心把客厅也翻新成同样的风格。如果你在巴黎期间没法看演出,当然可以参观一下剧院的设施。不过,仅仅是沿着大楼梯走到座位上,就已经是一次非凡的体验。外厅的天花板绘画更为传统,而剧院内部的天花板壁画则是后来由马克·夏加尔创作的。
