The opera house is much more spectacular than I thought. Its labyrinth of backstage and underground artificial lake inspire his imagination. The staff are very kind and polite. The interior is magnificent and worth visiting.

It’s not cheap to visit the opera, the Bastille Opera is located in Bastille Square, a fairly modern venue, not to be confused with the opera house in the heart of the city. We watched performances with Russian, French and English subtitles and there was no hard requirement for wearing.
Mitterrand's new opera house. In fact, the Paris National Opera House is the general name of the Garnier Opera House and the Bastille Opera House. The Bastille Opera House is a very modern building. Standing in the Bastille Square, it is easy to be attracted by its unique shape and decoration. The original intention of building this opera house is to lighten the performing burden of the Garnier Opera House and to create a modern and civilian cultural and artistic place. It has the most modern multi-functional stage facilities, starring in operas, and many world-class opera groups come to perform every year. I watched a German opera Wozzeck here, with English and French subtitles on the stage, but it took a lot of energy to switch between the stage and the screen above. If you stay in Paris for a long time, it's worth coming and experiencing.
OpéraBastille is the second largest opera house in Paris. It is also renowned in the European music scene. It is built in a civilian area, with realism and deep architectural bone marrow, and the design concept is low-key and simple, while still modern. It is the "People's Opera" that is proud of ordinary citizens in Paris. Open Monday to Saturday 10:00-6:30. Tickets are 11 euros for adults, 9 euros for elderly and students, and 6 euros for under 19 years old.
The modern geometric cylindrical shape of the Bastille Opera House, which combines metal and large transparent windows, connects the interior and exterior spaces. The theatre hall can accommodate 2,700 spectators. It's at the subway station in the Bastille. The traffic is convenient. Often there are many wonderful performances, and I am lucky to see a wonderful opera here.
