Opéra-Comique (Salle Favart)
In the story · Night at the opera
The opera outing where Driss cannot stop laughing at a tenor dressed as a singing tree was shot in this gilded 1898 house, not at the Palais Garnier. The façade with its loggia and caryatids faces a small square that is easy to miss between the Grands Boulevards and the Bourse.
