Opera Garnier where Phantom is based off of in Gaston Leroux's book. The chandelier did fall in the late 1800’s. Other accounts state it was one of the counter weights and not the chandelier. There’s many variations of Erik’s origin but Christine was based off a Swedish singer of the same 1st name.

Far too many pics of the Palais Garnier (Part Two!)
Tumblr media
In October of 2022, I had the extraordinary experience of getting to complete an 15+ year old dream of mine to visit the Palais Garnier. I took a metric fuckton of pictures and now I want to share them with you all, the PotO community!
Before I start dumping, a few things:
Please reblog this post. I usually don’t post a lot, therefore I don’t have a big following. I’d really appreciate people sharing these as much as they can. When I was a dumb kid in ye olden days of the internet, finding a post like this was the sort of thing I would have been hyped up on for weeks. Help spread that kind of joy!
Feel free to use these photos for any sorts of graphics, artistic reference or any other fandom related projects, as long as it’s not for profit. Please just credit me in some way. In fact, I'd love to be tagged to see whatever creations come from sharing all this!
This is part two, which will be photos of the interior. While there, I also took a tour, Mysteries of the Palais Garnier. I'll share a lot of the things I learned throughout the post and try to provide as much context as I can.
PART 1 (exterior) | PART 2 (here!) | PART 3 (foyer) | PART 4 (stage)

Upon leaving the designated tour office area, we entered this large, circular room where our tour began. Giant mirrors lined the walls and one of my companions immediately remarked that she felt as though someone was watching her from behind them.
On the ceiling there was this intricate pattern. We learned that this was Charles Garnier's "signature". He was concerned that at some point in time, his name would be forgotten and he would no longer be remembered as the architect of the Opera. If you look closely, his name is intertwined in the design, as well as the years of the building's construction.

There are salamanders hidden throughout the building as they were said to ward off devastating fires. It was very common for theaters to burn down, then. In fact, the construction of the Garnier was somewhat rushed in the last few years because the company's previous theater, Salle le Peletier burned to the ground in 1873. The Garnier opened in 1875.

We learned in our tour that these cracks on the steps were the result of a great tragedy. A group of ballerinas had been exploring the roof when the glass on the large window above cracked. One ballerina fell through the window and met her demise on the steps below.

With all these pictures of doors to the private boxes, you're probably wondering, "Hey Lotus, what about the most important one?" I got you, boo.

DP x DC Fandom: y’all don’t know what gothic architecture is
I’m only bringing this up because it keeps popping up. Gothic architecture is a real thing, and the name Gothic is from before the modern context. In fics it’s not uncommon for Danny or Sam to make a comment about Gotham’s “Gothic Architecture” but... Gotham doesn’t really have much gothic architecture. I wouldn’t be posting about it if it was one or two people, or if it was just the characters that got it wrong.
Gothic architecture is what you would see with a cathedral. It will have pointed arches, ribbed vaults and flying buttresses. It’s pretty common to also have stained glass,
Example
Tumblr media
The building of Gotham are obviously much more modern. The style Gotham is actually based on is Art Deco, a style that was super common in America during the 20′s and 30′s, The first Batman comic came out in 1939, so it was based on contemporary cities at the time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s fine if it’s something the character just doesn’t know, and it’s really not a big deal, but I keep seeing gothic architecture used wrong that it feels like a bit of education is in order. 
Thank you for coming to my TED talk

I recently had the chance to visit Paris, and, therefore; The Palais Garnier. I've been a fan of Phantom (book, musical and movie) for a very long time now, so, this was an absolute dream for me. I was in absolute awe the entire time I was there, and looking back on these photos, they can hardly do the grandness of The Palais Garnier justice.
If all goes well, I should hope to visit again this year or the next to see either a Opera or ballet there!

Hey
Hey Oli
What the fuck is that ending?? HELLO?? SIR?? DO YOU WANNA TELL US SOMETHING???
Cause like- you are unlucky number 13
And ya know who was also the 13th emperor that was associated with the End? And the ender dragon? Ya know, the thing that is growling as you cook it?
Just sayin’- what if instead of cooking it Oli is just keeping it warm and it’ll hatch into another (presumably evil) dragon? And he unintentionally unleashes evil upon the world?? Something about how destroying the ender dragon was bad in season 1 but in season 2 it’s creating the ender dragon that’s bad?

Ok, but the Manor in pastel just look so nice! (And kinda look like the Pink Palace from Coraline? And the toyline “Precious Places” from the 90s if some of you remember it...) And before someone ask; this is not my drawing it’s a poster for the 30th aniversary of DisneyLand Paris (the colors of everything being pink and purple for the occasion) that I took a picture of last week ;)

Far too many pics of the Palais Garnier (Part Three!)

This is part three, which is a continuation of pictures from the interior. I will continue to share information from the tour I took in this post as well. In fact, these are some of my personal favorites, as I never knew about some of these rooms as just some silly American girl on the internet. I hope you guys enjoy these even more than the last!

This is the grand foyer, an area that is pretty heavily photographed already. Standing in this room is almost as impressive as the massive staircase. The paintings on the walls and ceilings depict a lot of mythological scenes. In one of them, there is a hidden portrait of Garnier, along with the other artists that were involved in creating the paintings. The doors leading to the 2nd level balcony are located in the grand foyer.
Historically, only the gentlemen were allowed in the grand foyer, as it was seen as a place for them to converse and do business until one night, the Queen of Spain decided that she didn't care about such arbitrary rules. Ignoring it completely, she entered the room. The men all decided to leave, offended that even a queen would dare to encroach on their space. As word traveled around the Opera that night, all the other women soon joined the Queen in the foyer, wanting to see for themselves that she was there. Afterwards, men and women were begrudgingly allowed to mingle.

I found this to be a very interesting room. At the end of the grand foyer, this room was full of sunlight and comparatively simple decorations. The wealthy patrons themselves served as the real decorations of this room, as they would gather here for refreshments! The common folk, while not permitted to enter, would come to simply watch the rich people indulge in lots of expensive treats.
In fact, the menu still hangs on the wall in the form of all the portraits! All the women are holding items that symbolize various food items, tea, coffee, wine, game meat, fish, ice cream, citrus fruits and pastries.
I couldn't help but imagine Raoul taking various treats and sneaking them out to share with Christine.

We weren't allowed to go down this hallway but it just continued to make this place feel like a giant maze.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two rooms were nearly identical, though on opposite ends of a hallway. A few mistakes were made during their construction. The top room is known as the Sun room, for its warmer ambiance. The bottom is the Moon room.
Firstly, the rooms were meant to be swapped locations. The Sun Room was supposed to lead into the gentlemen's smoking room, but the Moon room leads to it instead. On the ceiling of the Sun room, salamanders are painted. The little amphibians were believed to ward off the danger of fire and protect the building. By the time the mistake was caught, it was too late to change it.
The other mistake can be seen in the mirror illusion in the Sun room. Because of a fault in the construction of the mirrors, the glass is too curved and the error is magnified with the illusion. The light appears to bend around a corner, instead of repeating on into infinity.
I imagine Erik was quite cross with the workers when he realized these errors occurred. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be on the receiving end of his temper that day!
Looking at the star motifs painted on both ceilings, I wonder if they could have inspired Christine's Star Princess costume in the musical.

• The Phantom of the Opera was not indeed there and I do mourn that fact. •
• There was Mozart, there is Molière. I wonder whose musical we will get next. •
