The Paris Opera House's name Garnier created by Charles Garnier was the inspiration for Gaston Leroux to write The Phantom of the Opera. During construction, they ran into a subterranean waterway and had to build the Opera House over it. Certain times of the year, you can go and visit this level.

Paris Opera House Garnier is important to people of Paris, it represent beauty and still standing all these years through Napoleon Wars, World War 1, World War 2. It is breathing taking on the outside and the interior is something to be awe of its splendor. It is used to this day for Ballet.

Paris Opera House Bastille is used for Opera. It built in 1968 as a memorial to storming of the Bastille.

Awful incidents took place at the Opéra Garnier, like the fall of the big lustre Chandelier on May 20th 1896, which killed a woman during the performance of the Faust of Goethe. Some people say that she occupied the number 13 seat... A pupil of the Opéra Garnier ballet class fell on the thirteenth step of the great staircase. Furthermore, the Opera House's underground was the scene of the most dreadful crimes during the Commune and people still think it is haunted because a skeleton was discovered there.

Paris Commune were similar to extreme left, almost communistic ideas, they were trying to over throw Paris, some were prisoners of Opera House Garnier's basement.

Gaston Leroux was a reporter and theatre critic for L'Echo de Paris and international reporter and correspondent for Le Matin Newspaper, he was involved in the investigation in depth coverage of the former Paris Opera House which was for Ballet Company, upon discovery, in the basement held prisoners of the Paris Commune. In 1907 he leaves the newspaper, started writing mystery novels to turn into films he and Arthur Bernede started together the Society des Cineromans.

The entire Opera Populaire in the film was built by the movie makers, on separate stages and as separate exteriors. They said they wanted it to be a complete, sensual character of its own.
