France - Paris - Opera Garnier staircase

Detail of one of the beautifully-designed and ornate backroom staircase in the Palais Garnier, Paris. Original railings and stairs take dancers from their dressing rooms to other parts of the building, such as rehearsal rooms. The Palais Garnier is a 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was originally called the Salle des Capucines because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, but soon became known as the Palais Garnier in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier.
