| book description |

Throughout his entire career, from his debut in the 1860s up to his final works post1900, the Opera formed the focal point of Degasâ€™s output. It was his own â€˜front roomâ€™. He explored the theatreâ€™s various spaces â€“ auditorium and stage, boxes, foyers and dance studios â€“ and followed those who frequented them: dancers, singers, orchestral musicians, audience members and black-attired patrons lurking in the wings. This closed world presented a microcosm of infinite possibilities, allowing all manner of experimentations: multiple points of view, contrasts of lighting, the study of motion and the precision of movement. This book is the first to consider the Opera as a whole, examining not only Degasâ€™ passionate relationship with the House and his musical tastes, but also the limitless resources of this marvellous â€˜toolboxâ€™. The work of a truly great artist offers us a unique portrait of the Paris Opera in the 19th century.
