Charles Garnier's idea was that the climb mattered as much as the opera. The Grand Escalier rises thirty metres under a painted dome, double-sweep in white Italian marble with green and red balustrades, designed so the audience could watch the audience. Bronze candelabra at the foot, four ceiling panels by Isidore Pils overhead, every balcony a viewing gallery for the people coming up. Half the room is staircase and half the room is theatre about staircases. The Paris Opera still holds galas here. Most visitors stop at the first landing and look up before they remember to keep climbing.

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