About Paris Opera

The poet Pierre Perrin began thinking and writing about the possibility of French opera in 1655 more than a decade before the official founding of the Paris Opera as an institution. On 28 June 1669 Louis XIV signed the privilege granted to Sir Perrin for the establishment of an Academy of Opera in music, & French Verse. For 12 years he was free to select business partners of his choice and to set the price of tickets. No one was to have the right of free entry including members of the royal court, and no one else could set up a similar institution. Perrin converted the Bouteille tennis court, located on the Rue des Fossés de Nesles (now 42 Rue Mazarine), into a rectangular facility with provisions for stage machinery and scenery changes and a capacity of about 1200 spectators. Despite this early success Cambert and two other associates did not hesitate to swindle Perrin, who was imprisoned for debt and forced to concede his privilege on 13 March 1672. The institution was renamed the Académie Royale de Musique and came to be known in France simply as the Opéra. With the French Revolution and the founding of the Republic the company changed names several times, dropping its association with the royal family. In 1994 the Opéra de Paris became the Opéra National de Paris. Regardless of all the changes in its "official" name, the company and its theatres were commonly referred to simply as the Opéra.
