High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! L'Opera Bastille (Bastille Opera) is a modern opera house in Paris, France. It is the home base of the Opera National de Paris and was designed to replace the Palais Garnier, which is nowadays mainly used for ballet performances. In 1968, the idea for a new opera house in Paris first came from the composer Pierre Boulez, Maurice Bejart, along with Jean Vilar, a believer in the need for popular theatre. Their report inspired Francois Mitterrand, the French president, to sponsor a competition to build a new house. He wanted it to become a "modern and popular" place in order to share classical music with the masses. Therefore, he created the Opera Bastille Public Establishment (l'Etablissement PuA) competition to select an architect to build this new opera house. 756 entries were received, and, in November 1983, the competition was won by, at the time, an unknown architect, Carlos Ott, a Uruguayan who lives in Canada.
