In Situ, Dans les coulisses de l'Opéra de Paris

This impressive art book presents an original vision of the ballet corps of the Opéra de Paris seen through the lens of Pierre-Elie de Pibrac. A first chapter of black and white photographs tells the everyday life of a corps de ballet, from the rehearsal rooms to the stage, throughout an entire season. Together with quotes from some of the greatest names in ballet dancing - Aurélie Dupont, Nicolas Le Riche, Eleonora Abbagnato, Benjamin Millepied... - , Pierre-Elie de Pibrac's photographic essay offers an innovative and timeless testimony of life at the Palais Garnier. Finally the photographer produced two series in colour - purely artistic - , in order to convey the emotion felt "In Situ". The quality of the printing, the texture of the cover, the quality of the paper and the ribbon page marker will delight not only photography and dance enthusiasts, but also those lovers of Paris, curious to explore the secrets of the Palais Garnier. Texts are in French and English
