Last Minute

Even though we try to plan ahead, tickets for these shows can slip through our fingers. BUT!! Two solutions are available to you. You can simply activate the alert on the booking page for the performance of your choice to be notified by email if a seat becomes available. Another option for the more adventurous: queue up on the same evening of the show at the Palais Garnier or the Opéra Bastille. Thirty minutes before the start of the performance, discounted tickets are sold (between €25 and €40). Note: first come, first served!
