Palais Garnier

This is for you, Janet!

The opera ceiling, by Marc Chagall

Close up of the Eiffel Tower

Foyer where concert-goers can spend intermission
I love Marc Chagall; his work is so dreamy and imaginative.  And I have been dying to see this ceiling at the opera house in person.  It is beautiful, and the concert hall it presides over is surprisingly cozy and small.  Wouldn't it be marvelous to go see the ballet or opera, and then mill about during intermission in these glowing gold foyers?
