Reserved for Beauty - Restoration of the Emperor’s Box in the Palais Garnier | Full Documentary

Do you know that the Emperor’s Box in the Palais Garnier is actually some of the worst seats in the entire Opera House?
It’s true and it’s simply because the Emperor sat there rather to present himself than to enjoy the performance on stage. But that’s also why the Emperor’s Box means significantly both history and culture wise.
At the end of August 2019, the restoration of the Emperor’s Box in the Palais Garnier was formally completed through the combined efforts of the Paris Opera, Hantang Culture and all the workshops. Almost one and a half centuries of deterioration were reversed within a short six weeks.
As the Patron of the Emperor's Box Restoration in the Palais Garnier, Hantang Culture has dedicated a cinematic documentary to the whole project. Tap the video above and see how the original splendor of the box and the brilliance of Garnier get restored.

Amazing! You have to love the company that produced the original fabrics for the Emperor's Box is still in business and carrying on the tradition of their craft. And the amount on skilled manual craftmanship to restore that couch is just off the scale.

It was the meticulous records from Prelle that surprised people when a room in Newport for which they provided the original fabric was restored. The tired "peach" silk in Alva Vanderbilt's bedroom turned out to have been purple originally before fading..

Hope you didn’t go into box 5! It’s supposed to be kept empty, otherwise Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (the Phantom of the Opera) will get you!
