Madame Ghislaine Oudin, Chef de Costumier of L’Opera de Paris Garnier, gave the ABC affiliates a back stage tour of the opera house with an incredible assortment of silk gowns encrusted with Swarovski crystals and many other flamboyant pieces.

The affiliates were given a tour not available to the public which included the basement above the lake under the opera house where the fictitious phantom lives, to the dressing rooms, wardrobe rooms, ateliers and the fabrication rooms. The gilded hall of the opera house hosts some of the most famous runway shows in Paris; such as Valentino and Gaultier during the Paris fashion week.
