Corrected entry: As the two new owners arrive at the opera house you can see in the background Paris. The view is from the Opera Garnier towards the Seine river (the south). We see in the far background a hill with a monument on top which never existed on the south side of Paris, and we also see that the opera is itself on top of a hill (because of the sort of balcony with street lights). In real life, facing south of the Opera, everything is totally flat. It seems that they relocated the opera house towards Montmartre for the movie. Also, at the very very beginning you see a postcard like picture of the opera house, behind you also see bridges. From the point of view of the picture taken (facing north, slightly west) the Seine river can not be on the postcard (as mentioned the Seine is south of the Opera). (00:05:30)

Correction: The movie doesn't take place at the Opéra Garnier, but at the fictional "Opéra populaire" (you can see its name at various times on the building, posters, etc.). It can be located anywhere the movie makers want it to be.
