Opéra Garnier, named after the architect who designed it in 1862, was immortalized by writer Gaston Leroux in his Phantom of the Opera. The architecture is a mixture of baroque, classical, Greek and Napoleonic styles. Adorned with mosaics, the foyer has a cupola decorated by painter Marc Chagall and an impressive Rococo staircase, which leads to the theatre's magnificent reception rooms. Outside, four stone statues represent allegories of Music, Lyric Poetry, Lyric Theatre and Dance. Since the opening of the Opéra Bastille, the Opéra Garnier has concentrated on dance.
