It was his own 'front room'. He 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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDegas at the Opera\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383769874668,"sku":"9780500023396","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/54823482366.jpg?v=1773379172"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/henri-loyrette.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
