Opéra Comique

Despite a recent tendency towards experimental music, the Opéra Comique, also called Popular Musical Theater, still hosts quite a few of the comic (and other) operas that are its namesake. This comfortable gilded-age theater, the smallest of the major Parisian opera venues, also presents symphonic concerts regularly. The venue is done up in nice Italian style décor typical of the end of the 19th century with nice mouldings and a lovely fresco on the ceiling.
