GOLD PHANTOM OPÉRA DE PARIS
Monumental, wherever you're seated.
It was such a great dream that it was difficult to believe it would ever come true. With ambition and determination, we pursued it for almost three years: we invested the acoustic and visual masterpiece created by Charles Garnier, an iconoclastic and visionary challenger. We partnered with the Paris Opera, a symbol of excellence and a true mastodon in the world of culture with a long-established international reputation.
The Paris Opera fully accepted to entertain our dream, based on a shared vision of excellence and strong ties to France's musical and historical heritage. Together, we have conceived an exceptional partnership. The first steps of this partnership took shape with the opening of a Devialet Area within the Palais Garnier, and the launch of a unique Phantom combining a landmark French institution with the new wave of tech innovation in France.
SOUND DISCOVERY AREA
The Devialet sound discovery area opened at the Palais Garnier in Fall 2017, ideally located in the west area of the Grand Vestibule. This space has been designed as a minimal setting with sophisticated details, and overseen by the chief architect of France's historic monuments and the regional directorate of cultural affairs. Within this space, the Phantoms Opéra de Paris | Devialet shines as exceptional technological masterpieces. Guests will witness not one Phantom or Phantom duo, but an entire orchestra of 16 Phantoms delivering the purest, most profound emotion that sound can possibly deliver within the walls of a venerable temple to sound itself. By day, visitors will access the area through the main entrance, and by night, before and during performances, through the Grand Vestibule. They will be able to discover and purchase Devialet products.
Monumental, wherever you're seated.
The master gilders at Ateliers Gohard finish the Phantom’s gold leaf gills according to time-honored methods. Each gold leaf is applied by hand for a unique, irreplaceable patina. Heritage techniques demand absolute perfection first time round — once the leaf has been applied, it cannot be removed. Bearing the Gold Phantom Opéra de Paris | Devialet signature, gills are gilded with moongold, a precious and stainless palladium-yellow gold alloy.
