Musee Grevin/ Coulisses de Opera 0000-0746

For the show Backstage at the Opera at the Grevin Museum, we observe a bevy of enchantresses practicing their dance steps, their movements caught so vividly we can practically feel the whiff of air stirred up by their lively pirouettes. This two-sheet poster, with the dancers approximately life-size, is one of Cherets masterpieces. The place where shows like this were held in Paris original: originally a waxworks founded around 1880 by caricaturist Alfred Grevin, it included a 500-seat auditorium where live performances were given to supplement the meager income Grevin was making from admissions to the museum part of the operation. The theater had mirrored walls, and cheret, himself painted the ceiling. The presentations included a mix of magic shows, revues and concertsE?E?anything to bring in the patrons. Whats perhaps most amazing is that the place is still in business and still uses the same approach of museum (22 tableaux from the Bell Epoque) and live entertainment.
