Complimentary to Impressionism51²è¹Ý¶ù interest in music, theatre, and spectacle, this afternoon51²è¹Ý¶ù programme explores the operatic world of late nineteenth century Paris, from the art song of the cabarets to opera of the theatres. In line with the surprising history of the Jockey Club opera-goers who demanded a ballet at the start of Act II, we commence with an extract of Mozart51²è¹Ý¶ù Don Giovanni, whose ballet is commemorated in Degas51²è¹Ý¶ù Two Dancers (1874). We end by marking bohemian life with extracts of La Bohème.
