QUES: The largest opera houses of Paris are the 19th-century Opera Garnier (historical Paris Opera) and modern Opera Bastille; the former tends toward the more classic ballets and operas, and the latter provides a mixed repertoire of classic and modern. In middle of the 19th century, there were three other active and competing opera houses: the Opera-Comique (which still exists), Theatre-Italien, and Theatre Lyrique (which in modern times changed its profile and name to Theatre de la Ville). Philharmonie de Paris, the modern symphonic concert hall of Paris, opened in January 2015. Another musical landmark is the Theatre des Champs-Elysees, where the first performances of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes took place in 1913.

During this time, the prestige of the language, its use for sacred purposes, and the importance attached to its correct enunciation all served as powerful conservative forces resisting the normal processes of linguistic change. However, there is a clear, five-level linguistic development of Vedic from the Rigveda to the language of the Upanishads and the earliest sutras such as the Baudhayana sutras.
