The Avenue de l'Opéra (French pronunciation: [avny d(ə) lɔpeʁa]) was created from 1864 to 1879 as part of Haussmann's renovation of Paris. It is situated in the centre of the city, running northwest from the Louvre to the Palais Garnier, the primary opera house of Paris (until the opening of the Opéra Bastille in 1989).
