Opera and ballet lovers will once again be able to discover the beauty of the Opéra Garnier, as the cultural institution has announced that it will reopen its doors on June 22, 2020. An opportunity to discover one of the most beautiful buildings in Paris.

Attention music lovers! TheOpéra Garnier has announced that it will reopen its doors on June 22, 2020, after several months of closure due to the coronavirus epidemic. A grand reopening that gives you the chance to visit once again one of Paris' most beautiful buildings, designed by French architect Charles Garnier and inaugurated in 1875.

And to access theOpéra Garnier, you'll need to follow a few simple rules: wear a mask if you're over 11, make hydro-alcoholic gel available, keep your body at a distance... all to ensure everyone's safety. It should also be noted that, to avoid any potential contact with the disease, no tour leaflets are available on the premises, but can be downloaded from the Opera's website.

Tickets are also not sold on the premises: you must reserve your place to enter the building and explore the grounds. Time slots have been set aside for visits every day from 10am to 6pm. And for those who bought a ticket before March 14, its validity has been extended to December 31, 2020. As far as performances are concerned, none have been scheduled for the moment, but you can still enjoy the many shows digitally, as the Paris Opera continues to post its various performances online.

It's an opportunity to rediscover this architectural masterpiece, whose construction was decided by Napoleon III after he escaped an assassination attempt, and launched through a competition in which Charles Garnier was the unanimous winner.
