Wher could I buy tickets to Paris Opera?

Wher could I buy tickets to Paris Opera (Garnier)?

Could I do it online?

You can buy tickets directly from the Opera website : http://www.opera-de-paris.fr/

The site is not entirely in English. On the first page, click on SAISON 2005-2006;

Then on OPERAS or BALLETS or CONCERTS.

Then on the performance that interests you. Then on RESERVER (to book).

At this level you can choose the English version.

What do you want to attend to ? Opera, ballet or concert ?

THank You for your help!

I would like to see opera, but I believe there are no opera%26#39;s in Garnier...

|||

Yes, you have opéras %26amp; ballets both in Garnier and Bastille.

Cosi Fan tutte is on Garnier, on September 12th- October 15, but there are mo more seats on sale on Internet on this moment. Try to chekc later (seats are sometimes put again for sale on Internet later on).

Actually I will be in Paris March 2006...

I was thinking to buy tickets in advance, to get not too expensive tickets...

When I could do it?

|||

Here%26#39;s the March calendar for Garnier and Bastille.

There will be Le Nozze di Figaro and Rigoletto.

Internet sale on the OdP-site starts beginning January.

Good luck!

Oops, for Rigoletto ticket sales starts in November already.

|||

Le Nozze di Figaro are in Garnier in March.

The sale of tickets on Internet begins on January 2nd : better to reserve the first day to be sure to get what you want !

Hello sherry,

We go to the ballet often and sometimes the opera when we are in Paris. We always manage to get tickets to anything we want to see when we get there. Sometimes the seats available maybe not be the greatest, but most of the time just fine. Both houses sell tickets (for each other too) during the day in their ticket offices...Do try when you first get into town. Generally speaking, Garnier has ballets and Bastille, operas...generally speaking. You might want to check for performances in other theatres in Paris too.

The night of the performances, even if sold out, they have some tickets available. You go to either opera house about an hour before the performance (earlier is even better) stand in the special ticket line and volia you probably will get a ticket....we always have. There are also usually %26quot;hackers%26quot; selling tickets on the steps of the buildings the nite of the performance for more than the original price.......Never bought one from them....But we actually sold two which we could not use because of sickness, getting just the marked price.

Great experience....especially seeing the Garnier........

Hm.... I%26#39;d rather say large productions are at the Bastille, smaller ones at Garnier. Bastille is a lot larger regardings seats and stage.
