Does anyone know when the tours for Opera Garnier are given in English?

While I do not know when the English tours are given at the Opera Garnier, I would like to suggest that you get a reasonably priced ticket and see not only the beautiful theatre, but a ballet and people attending as well, for about the same price as just a tour. Go to their ticket office any day and see what is available even for that nights performance...........You might easily get lucky especially if you tell them you will take a seat from which you may not be able to see well....that you will be fine just hearing the music...Once you are seated, you will probably be able to see ok anyway....people often are accomodating and will move so you can. Do try to get a seat in a side box/stall, (booth)..........tis wonderful even in the third row of them. Would suggest you take a seat with limited visability rather than in the top balcony since balcony seats are really tight and are not beautifully decorated and lined with red velvet as are the boxes.
If you go to the same ticket office at least an hour before the nights performance they sell tickets for that night....even for sold out performances.... some very cheap ones too. We have often gone for about 7 or 8 euros and see fairly well, often very well. Garnier usually has the ballets and Bastille the operas. It%26#39;s a treat even if you only see the building during a performance..............
