I have everything planned out in my story, except for one essential thing. I need an object that would relate to the Paris Opera, something very valuable either sentimentally or in terms of worth or both, that would lead an actor on a quest to get it, even at the risk of others' lives. P.S. it takes place in France, 1919.

This is something that you should figure out for yourself, or it may be something that will reveal itself as you write. I would suggest that you d some research into the time to see what was going on, that may help you figure it out.

I would say that you need to figure this out yourself, but here's a suggestion:
Maybe the actor is in an opera where they use a real artifact, like if it's about King Aurthur, they really have excalibur or something and use it. Please don't actually use that, though, because it's dumb.
Must it have something to do with Opera directly? I mean, just because he's an actor doesn't necessarily mean that the only thing he values is in theater. It could be something from childhood, something that relates this his parents or his past. It could even be a loved one--wife or sister.
