Description:"The Paris Opera is opening its Pandora's Box replete with three centuries of costumes, jewels, drawings and stage models. Since its establishment the Opera has attracted artists and artisans - painters, stylists, jewellers, wig-makers and shoemakers who have combined their talents to turn each theatrical production into a moment of reverie, beauty and splendour. They have bonded their respect for tradition with creative imagination whilst maintaining their particular skills, not withstanding the limitations that the stage of the theatre imposes. Many add their own mark of modernity - the names of Coco Chanel, Yves Saint-Laurent, Hanae Mori, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix attest to the fecund marriage that is possible between heritage and its contemporary revival. This exhibition does justice to the combination of these talents. It demonstrates the richness, technical proficiency and the refinement of the professions found in the entertainment industry. It is living proof that it is not merely a matter of fashion and taste but of culture. it illustrates the panoply that arises when all the arts come together so that when the curtain rises the magic begins."Jack LangMinister de la Culture, de la Communication et des Grands TravauxWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
