I've passed this opera house in the Marais many times but never been inside.
Sadly, I have found the area around, especially along the Métro station, not be to be well kept by the City of Paris. Your thoughts?

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Great b&w!
Nice B&W of the outside! The inside supplies all of the modern needs for opera, ballet, and theater... except IMHO, charm. I would always prefer to go to the Garnier. As far as the area around Bastille, I'm guessing it's just impossible to keep up with the trash from zillions of tourists.
happy 4th
My thought were and still are the same as yours. Quelle domage.
Very dramatic in black and white.
I have no information and thus no opinions. Sorry to be a party pooper.
Although the builing isn't old it is already falling apart.
