This next theatre is the Palais Garnier, which is located in Paris, France. This theatre was designed by Charles Garnier. The Palais Garnier wasn’t the original theatre that was in that location on Rue le Peletier, there was another in its place. There was a bomb that was thrown into the theatre while Napoleon III was inside of it and that was the moment when he decided there needed to be a new theatre built. Napoleon wanted to be able to attend shows in a safe environment and not have to worry about his safety. In 1860, there was actually a contest held to figure out who was going to be the architect on this building. So Garnier wasn’t even the first choice to create the building everyone envisioned, he was chosen by chance.
