We are traveling around Europe visiting the Christmas Markets. We were in Belgium and left on…read moreChristmas Day to see if we could get last minute tickets to the Nutcracker that night as the website is not friendly for foreigners trying to purchase tickets. Right when we arrived in Paris two of our party took an Uber to the hotel while my mother and I took the bus to the Bastille ticket office. It is not easy to find and there is a fence. We had to go around some stairs and the opening was hidden around the corner. We stood in line for 2 hours. People behind us were counting and we told them we were purchasing for the 4 of us. On the Bastille website you are allowed to purchase 2 tickets per person. They got upset when my father and brother came after bringing our luggage to the hotel. They started pushing my brother and me. They got very physical. When the two line attendance came to open the doors the older ladies started yelling and pushing our family. They made derogatory racist remarks about us and when we told the line attendants they need to call the police their comment was "That's not our job". If that isn't one of their jobs than I don't see why they get paid at all. We finally got to the ticket counter and the person behind the counter was going to give us four tickets until one of the line attendance spoke to them in French and we were then told we were only allowed to purchase 2. We were told if we wanted to purchase two more tickets they had to stand back in cue. They ended up selling the two tickets that we were going to receive to one of the ladies that was pushing us. After everyone else got their tickets they happened to fix two seats and we were finally allowed to pay for two more tickets right before the performance. We paid three to four times the amount we should have paid for the other two tickets. When we sat down in the two original seats we purchased, insult to injury the older lady and daughter who were racist and assaulting us were sitting right next to us. After the show we talked to one of the managers that was there after the show and we talked to him. He was apologetic and said that he would write an email to the parent company that takes care of the tickets corroborating our story as he heard about it from other staff members. It was Christmas Day and it was one of the worst Christmas' our family has ever had. When we went back the next day they said it was our fault again.

There were multiple tours going on in different languages at the same time but each group went to different sections. So your group might pass another group but you were not together. Our group was about 20 people. When you are facing the opera you go to the left and security about half way down the opera lets you in. Then you check in and wait in a rotunda area. After waiting for probably 15-20 our tour started. They take you to most of the areas and it's semi private. One of the highlights of our trip!

We had front row seats through the tour that we were on, and were squeezed so tight I was practically touching the person sitting behind me, and her hair kept flinging into my chair. When I had to use the restroom after dinner, everyone had to get up because there was NO WALKWAY. So just be prepared for the confined seating arrangements especially in the front center tables. The food was good but not great, however, the best seats are the ones with dinner so I'm glad we did it. The pre-show dinner entertainment band was great and they invited us to the dance floor after dinner which was fun. When the show was about to start the stage pushed out all the way to the end of our table. They had to warn us to keep our hands off our table, that's how close it comes! I didn't know what to expect from the show. It's so much more than the can can. There are many acts in between the show girls that are incredible, like the knife thrower/bow & arrow guy, the girl in the tank, I'm not sure if those acts change or not but our show was full of so much talent. The girls are topless but they put makeup on their bodies so you don't even really notice after a while because the costumes are so extravagant and tasteful. The costumes have feathers, headpieces, and the dresses are outrageous. Is it the best show in town? Probably not, but it's iconic, and it was on my mom's bucket list, so we went and I'm so glad we did!

I'll also say though the dancers for the show / story part need done choreography refresh. The timing was off, no smiles, looking at others to see what they're doing and making the moves look flawless was off for SEVERAL dancers (more than 3) since scene 1. It was distracting our group and took away from the show. SMILING should be step one. Please freshen up!
