Andrew Alfaro

Majestuoso desde la entrada hasta el último detalle. La riqueza de su arquitectura, las escaleras monumentales y la ornamentación dorada crean una atmósfera elegante y teatral incluso antes de que comience cualquier función. El techo pintado y los salones llenos de luz reflejan arte e historia en cada rincón. Es un lugar que deslumbra, emociona y hace sentir parte de algo verdaderamente grandioso.

Es un hermoso lugar con una arquitectura impresionante. El audio guía permite adentrarse en la historia de la planificación y construcción del lugar, explicando cada detalle de la ópera. Lamentablemente la experiencia no es la mejor porque el lugar se llena demasiado de gente inclusive en temporada baja. Además, MUCHAS personas haciéndose sesión de fotos con vestido de fiesta (pagando la misma entrada que uno) qué pretenden acapararse los palcos por horas y te echan cuando estas admirando las pinturas del techo porque quieren salir solas en las fotos.. Pienso que es algo que deberían regular de alguna manera ya que amarga la experiencia.

Un lugar que no puede faltar en tu visita a París. Recomiendo hacer la visita guiada de la tarde, cuando ya no hay gente. Es un poco más cara, y debes comprarla connal menos un mes de anticipación porque se agotsn rápido, pero pagas el poder recorrer el palacio prácticamente solo y poder ver lugares a los que de otro modo no podrías acceder.
