This is a first and it will certainly be an unforgettable experience for the two "travellers" who will be able to enjoy it: a night in the sumptuous Palais Garnier, jewel of the Paris Opera which took the name of its architect. It is Airbnb which announces it this Monday, February 13: the "home of the legendary Phantom of the Opera is on Airbnb" with very logically for hostess the great-granddaughter of Gaston Leroux, the writer inventor of the famous myth . “My great-grandfather's classic work has inspired so many over the years and moved many audiences around the world. I am delighted to pay tribute to him and welcome travelers to the famous setting of the novel for an exceptional stay,” she explains.
Their "landlady" has reserved other exclusive experiences for them: an initiation to ballet with one of the dancers of the Opera troupe, a recital by artists from the Paris Opera Academy, a dinner in the historic Foyer de la Danse, a backstage room where dancers warm up and rehearse just before performances. Not to mention a behind-the-scenes tour including a visit to the dance studios located under the roofs of the Opera, which offers a splendid view of the capital.
This communication operation of the accommodation rental platform is part of its commitment to heritage. Here, the partnership with the Paris Opera concerns the restoration of the boxes of the Palais Garnier and the financing of the institution's new streaming platform to broadcast its content.
The experience, which is therefore open to a maximum of two people, will take place on Sunday July 16, after the end of the Paris Opera season. To participate, you must "have a verified Airbnb profile, a positive history on the platform and be 18 years of age or older", specifies the platform. The stay will be charged 37 euros, the number of this box of honor. Reservations start on March 1 at 6 p.m. sharp and the first to meet these criteria will be the winner. So be prepared to be quick.
To try your luck, don't be afraid of a nocturnal visit from the famous ghost of the Opera...
