Jean-Jacques Serre: 作为一名导游，我认为巴黎歌剧院的独特之处在于其宏伟的楼梯，这是其他任何歌剧院都无法比拟的。在19世纪70年代的巴黎美好年代，人们来到这里不仅仅是为了观看演出，更重要的是为了展示自己，参与社交活动，结识朋友。那时，社会阶层流动性增强，金钱和教育成为了改变命运的途径。歌剧院不仅仅是一个艺术场所，它也是一个社交舞台，人们在这里展示财富、地位和品味。 Christopher Mead: 作为一名城市建筑历史学家，我认为加尼叶在设计这座建筑时，旨在向巴黎市民致敬，而非仅仅服务于贵族和富人。他希望这座建筑能够激励那些通过自身努力在社会上取得成功的人们。因此，歌剧院的每一个细节都体现了这种民主和进步的精神。加尼叶的设计理念是让每个人都能感受到艺术的魅力，无论他们的出身如何。
