Complimentary to Impressionism鈥檚 interest in music, theatre, and spectacle, this afternoon鈥檚 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 Mozart鈥檚 Don Giovanni, whose ballet is commemorated in Degas鈥檚 Two Dancers (1874). We end by marking bohemian life with extracts of La Boh猫me.
