really wanted to visualize that scene in the novel where after erik has kidnapped christine and he’s just deposited her in his living room five stories underground– she’s super disoriented after having passed out on account of being, you know, kidnapped– and this beanpole of a man is in the center of the room posted up like the grim reaper in a scream mask, and he deadass looks at her and says, in the same voice as the “angel” that’s been giving her singing lessons in her dressing room for the past 3 months, “don’t be afraid, christine. you are in no danger.���

The Managers ll/Wishing dress might just be my favorite Christine costume from the Italy/Spain non-replica. And yet there seems to be so little of the dress itself!

I love the nod to the original costume and the flower details. I wish that they would’ve also had a more open cape on top like the original so the dress could be seen more.

Costume design by Chiara Donato.

The model of the Opera Garnier at the Musée d'Orsay offers a unique view of the building's structure and also an impression of what it looked like in the past. The ceiling in the model still features the original art by Eugène Lenepveu, and you can still see the pulleys over the stage which have been removed from the actual building because they are no longer needed. The only thing that really seems to be missing here is the chandelier!

Full view of the building

The stage and auditorium

The upper area of the stage including the flies and pulleys that were used to move the props and backgrounds

The five cellars under the stage and the lake beneath the fifth cellar. The stage as well as the two first cellars are slightly tilted.

A closer view of the boxes and the original ceiling

The backstage area, including administrative offices, dressing rooms, rehearsal spaces and the Foyer de la Danse

The grand staircase

The Grand Foyer

Rear view of the Rue Gluck side
