OPERA GARNIER

The Opéra Garnier is a national theater which aims to be an academy of music, choreography and lyrical poetry; it is a major part of the heritage of the 9th arrondissement of Paris. It is located on Place de l'Opéra, at the north end of Avenue de l'Opéra and at the crossroads of many lanes.

The building stands out as a monument particularly representative of the eclectic architecture and the historicist style of the second half of the 19th century. Based on a design by the architect Charles Garnier selected following a competition, its construction, decided by Napoleon III as part of the transformations of Paris carried out by the prefect Haussmann and interrupted by the war of 1870, was resumed at the beginning of the Third Republic, after the destruction by fire of the opera Le Peletier in 1873. The building was inaugurated on January 5, 1875 by President Mac Mahon under the Third Republic.

Crazy Horse

The Crazy Horse, formerly called Crazy Horse Saloon, is a Parisian cabaret in the Champs-Élysées district located 12, avenue George-V, created in 1951 by Alain Bernardin. The name "Crazy Horse" is that, translated into English and thus passed down to posterity, of the Sioux chef Thasunka Witko, the decoration of the cabaret at its opening being supposed to be western style, with its room pasticating a saloon from the 1870s.

La comédie Française

The Comédie-Française or Théâtre-Français is a French cultural institution founded in 1680 and since 1799 living in the Richelieu room in the heart of the Palais-Royal in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.

It is the only national theater in France with a permanent troupe of actors, the Troupe des Comédiens-Français. Although dead for seven years when the troupe was created, Molière is considered the "patron" of the institution, nicknamed the "House of Molière". The armchair in which he went into agony during a performance of the Imaginary Patient is still on display at the back of the gallery of busts, after the Foyer Public!
