It was his own 'front room'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe explored the theatre's various spaces - auditorium and stage, boxes, foyers and dance studios - and followed those who frequented them: dancers, singers, orchestral musicians, audience members and black-attired patrons lurking in the wings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first to consider the Opera as a whole, examining not only Degas' passionate relationship with the House and his musical tastes, but also the limitless resources of this marvellous 'toolbox'. The work of a truly great artist offers us a unique portrait of the Paris Opera in the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35021412925593,"sku":"9780500023396","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9780500023396.jpg?v=1602540622","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780500023396","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
