Premium Opera and Ballet Experiences with Opéra de Paris

Discover the premium experiences at Palais Garnier and Opéra Bastille…

Whether you’re sitting in the gold gilded hall of the Palais Garnier, or the Opéra Bastille’s futuristic amphitheatre, it’s hard not to be moved by the scale and grandeur of the Opéra de Paris. Whilst each show promises to be smooth and luxurious, when it comes to the finer things in life we don’t blame you for wanting more! That’s why we’ve teamed up with our longtime partner, AROP (Association pour le Rayonnement de l’Opéra de Paris), to bring you exclusive premium tickets, for an extra special experience.

What’s more, by purchasing these premium tickets, you’re also supporting AROP — a nonprofit organisation tirelessly devoted to helping the Opéra de Paris produce world-class performances, nurture emerging artists, and preserve two of the city's most iconic venues.

As partners, we’re in the privileged position to be able to contribute to their mission by offering our clients exceptional access to ballet, concerts, and opera. Read on to discover the exclusive benefits enjoyed by AROP ticketholders at either venue.

The Premium Experience at Opéra Palais Garnier

One of France’s most prestigious venues, the Palais Garnier is the brainchild of legendary architect Charles Garnier. Completed in 1875, its Grand Foyer - with its monumental marble staircases, gilded ceilings and ornate sculptures - once served as a drawing room for Paris’ high society. From the sweeping staircase to the opulent Grand Salon, every space within the Palais is adorned with elegant details that conjure a truly magical atmosphere. But beware: a shadowy, tormented figure is rumoured to lurk deep within the bowels of the opera house - this is, after all, the venue that inspired Gaston Leroux’s 1909 novel, The Phantom of the Opera.

AROP ticketholders enjoy access to the venue’s most sought-after seats: Category Optima, the finest in the house. On arrival, guests receive a complimentary programme and glass of champagne, along with exclusive access to the Salon Libermann, a private space adjoining the Grand Foyer with stunning views over the Place de l’Opéra. Ticketholders can also reserve at their leisure: AROP ticketing remains available well after general sales close, allowing you ample time to select the perfect performance. Each ticket includes a €150 contribution to AROP, meaning that your purchase directly supports the continued success of opera in Paris.

The Premium Experience at Opéra Bastille

For years, many Parisians lamented the absence of a venue suited to contemporary performances and modern acoustic requirements. In the 1960s, a movement emerged calling for a new opera house to cater to this need – a younger sibling to the elaborate Palais Garnier. The house is rich in historical significance. Construction began at Place de la Bastille just over a century after the Palais’ inauguration, and the new opera house was completed in 1989, coinciding with the bicentenary of the French Revolution. Unlike other auditorium designs, each and every seat at the Opéra Bastille guarantees an unrestricted view of the stage. With its white glass ceiling, sleek gray structuring, and black seats trimmed with rich oak, the venue is an ode to modernity and minimalistic design. Constructed from Brittany’s blue granite and angular glass panels, its striking exterior captures and reflects light from every angle.

For those seeking an elevated experience, AROP tickets grant access to the very best seats in the Opéra Bastille. Before the performance begins, guests are invited to enjoy a glass of champagne and a show programme, then relax in the exclusive Salon Berlioz—an elegant, private lounge reserved for premium ticketholders. Unlike standard tickets, this offer remains available even after general sales have closed, giving you greater flexibility to plan your evening. A portion of each ticket—€125—is a direct contribution to AROP, ensuring your evening also helps support the thriving future of opera in Paris.
