National Theatre of the Opera Comique

2nd Arr.

Step into three centuries of French opera history at the Opéra Comique, where velvet seats, gilded balconies, and sublime acoustics make every performance feel close enough to touch. Carmen made her debut here in 1875, and the intimate Salle Favart still brings singers and audiences together like nowhere else in Paris.
