Charles Garnier won the design competition in 1861. The facade took fourteen years to finish. Seven bays of polychrome marbles. Sculptural groups along the lower colonnade. Gilded bronze busts of composers above the loggia: Rossini, Beethoven, Mozart, Auber. Apollo at the apex, lifting his lyre over the Boulevard des Capucines. The Carpeaux La Danse on the right is a copy. The original was taken inside in 1964 and now lives at the Musée d'Orsay. The marble reads differently when it rains. The boulevard fills early on premiere nights.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
