The last time I went to this place

I saw Angelin Preljocaj’s Le Parc here last night. It was magical.

We saw a ballet in the Opera Garnier

And it is the WORST design ever for a theatre, because unless you’re sitting in the middle rows facing the stage, you can’t see anything! But still, it was a fantastic experience, and what I could see of the ballet lived up to all my expectations of the Opera Ballet.

The first time I went to this place

I saw a ballet – a very modern ballet. I’m not a huge fan of the dancing arts. I did appreciate it. The music was excellent.

Opera at the Palais Garnier

In 1997, I saw Robert Wilson’s staging of Claude Debussy’s Pelleas et Melisande with Dawn Upshaw, Russell Braun, Jose Van Dam, and Robert Lloyd; James Conlon conducted. In 2005, I attended a performance of Wolgang Amadeus Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito with Christoph Pregardien and Susan Graham.

I believe Erik the Phantom could’ve actually lived there. I’ll row on Lake Averne someday.
