Yes I did. Thanks for trying to help. But I don't understand "school of dance". What school? On TA it was said that the opera has a famous dance school. And it is three acts/performances?

Most ballet companies have dance schools, that isn't unusual. So does ABT and NYCB in the US. It is students from the Paris Opera Ballet school doing a performance. Yes, it is three short ballets -- Soir de Fetes (music by Delibes), Les Forains, and Symphony in 3 Mouvements by Stravisky.

Those can be a good deal for people who are mainly going for the event or building (some folks on Fodors do), rather than because they want to see the real company or a particular ballet, because the students are probably very good and the tickets are cheaper to those productions.
