In 1881 electric lighting was installed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.operadeparis.fr/en/magazine/350-years/chronology |title=Chronology |website=Opéra national de Paris |language=en |access-date=22 March 2022 }}</ref> In the 1950s new personnel and freight elevators were installed at the rear of stage, to facilitate the movement of employees in the administration building and the moving of stage scenery.

In 1969, the theatre was given new electrical facilities and, during 1978, part of the original Foyer de la Danse was converted into new rehearsal space for the Ballet company by the architect [[Jean-Loup Roubert]]. During 1994, restoration work began on the theatre. This consisted of modernizing the stage machinery and electrical facilities, while restoring and preserving the opulent décor, as well as strengthening the structure and foundation of the building. This restoration was completed in 2007.
