Feast your eyes on this magnificent ceiling that was painted by Marc Chagall in 1964. We found this in Pari's Opera Garnier that was opened in 1875; designed by Charles Garnier and built by Haussmann for the Opera Company started by King Louis XIV in 1669. There was seating for 2,000 people. On April 19th we toured the inside of the building; what a thrill to actually sit in a seat under this ceiling. Originally used for both opera and ballet performances; the building has been used for ballet performances primarily since the new Opera Bastille was completed in 1989. Add this to your must see list when in Paris.
