About the piece
Painted in 1889, Jean Béraud’s 'The Wings at the Opéra' offers a fascinating look into the backstage life of the Palais Garnier. The work beautifully contrasts the ethereal white of the dancers' tutus with the somber formal wear of the gentlemen spectators, set against the dark, cavernous atmosphere of the stage wings.
