Daniel-François-Esprit Aubert was a composer, mostly praised for opera-comique or spoken-opera. Do these men (alas, no equity back in this area) ring any bell? As a matter of fact, they are four illustrious men from classic music in the 18 th and 19 th centuries.įor a wider introduction: Jacques Rouché was a musical critique and patron (he even managed the Paris Opera from 1914 to 1936). Without further ado, the Opéra Garnier (built in 1870 by architect Charles Garnier) is surrounded by rue Gluck, rue Scribe, rue Auber and Place Jacques Rouché. Did you know the streets around the Opéra Garnier are named after famous people? And not just any famous people… Welcome to our “Did you know?” column, especially concocted to excel in high society.
Today, let us focus on the Opéra neighborhood. When we finally think Paris no longer has secret for us, our dearly beloved City of Lights has another fun fact coming up.
