A copy of Charles Garnier’s bust by the sculptor Carpeaux stands in the centre of the foyer, near one of the windows looking down the Avenue de l’Opéra towards the Louvre.
The auditorium
Red and gold furnishings and decoration are lit by the immense crystal chandelier hanging below Marc Chagall’s brightly coloured ceiling. The Italian-style, horseshoe-shaped auditorium has 1,900 red velvet seats and the magnificent painted-canvas house curtain represents a draped curtain with gold braid and pompoms.
