The present Opera house opened on 5 January 1875. At the time it was the largest theater in the world, with 2,156 seats and a stage 85 feet wide, 170 feet deep, and 200 feet high. Its construction cost 35,400,000 francs.

On 25 April 1876, a special program was given to help finance the Statue of Liberty. Five hundred choristers and an orchestra were directed by Charles Gounod. The program included a hymn written by the composer entitled "Body of Bronze ... Soul of Fire". The performance was followed by a banquet in the opera house.

In June 1910, the Metropolitan Opera Company, after a triumphant run at the Theatre du Chatelet, gave a benefit performance here for the survivors of the French submarine Pluviose.

On 24 January 1919, a gala presentation of Castor and Polux by Rameau was given for President Woodrow Wilson.
