I am about to book tickets at the Opera Garnier for November triple bill by Paris Opera ballet. Please can I have some advice about where in the theatre is a good place to sit and any tips about visiting the opera house. Thank you -
I'm catching up on videos of this soirée exceptionnelle which is a triple bill of Song of a Wayfarer, Vaslav and Études. Preceded by a superduper grand défilé taking a leaf out of Dupond's own book. In 1990 he invited étoiles from the previous 40-odd years to participate in the season's défilé. Someone had the very bright idea of inviting former étoiles to join this défilé, homage to a one-off. The only étoiles of this century missing were Josua Hoffalt (no idea), Kader Belarbi (hem hem), Aurélie Dupont and Jérémie Bélingard (family issues according to her public Instagram), and Benjamin Pech (opening his La Bayadère in Rome). I do not normally "approve" of audience-posted videos but the wonderful Emmanuel Thibault posted a video on Instagram of the full 10+ minutes of the anciennes étoiles being introduced and taking their bows. Dominique Khalfouni must have been on stage with her two children for the first time since they were tiny tots! I hadn't realised she too was named étoile before having reached première danseuse, 28 years before her son Mathieu Ganio achieved the same distinction.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss this so please feel free to move it if not. I am going to Paris on 21/12, and they are performing La Bayadère that evening. I haven't been able to find much of a clear answer, but it seems that they do offer day tickets for performances. Can anyone provide more specific details about how to obtain them? Is it similar to the ROH day tickets? Any advice would be so much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
