The Palais Garnier ( French: [palɛ ɡaʁnje] ⓘ, Garnier Palace), also known as Opéra Garnier ( French: [ɔpeʁa ɡaʁnje] ⓘ, Garnier Opera), is a historic 1,979-seat [3] opera house at the Place de l'Opéra in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France.

- Manon. Another opera adapted from a French classic, Manon is a reworking of Abbé Prévost’s Manon Lescaut of 1731, a story about one upright man’s fall from grace thanks to that much-loved character of olde-worlde authors — the femme fatale.
