About Dancers at the Old Opera House

Edgar Degas painted this in 1874, shortly after the original Paris Opera burned down.

The old Paris Opera burned in 1873, making Degas' paintings valuable records of the lost building.

Degas painted at both the old Rue Le Peletier Opera (destroyed by fire in 1873) and the new Palais Garnier. His scenes capture the transition between these two iconic Parisian venues.
