Description
Overall view of section model; represents the eastern half of the building; Displayed in the Musée d'Orsay's comprehensive exhibit about the Paris Opéra (Palais Garnier). Located at the end of the museum's central aisle in a space designed by Richard Peduzzi (a stage and set designer), the Opéra gallery presents all aspects of the monument, town planning, architecture and decoration. Two of the maquettes are for the 1904 production of the "musical drama", Le Fils de l'étoile (Son of the Star), based on the story of Simon bar Kokhba, the Syrian pseudo-Messiah (died 135 CE), who led a revolt against the Romans. The five act drama has music by Camille Erlanger, libretto by Catulle Mendès. Source: Musée d'Orsay [website]; http://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/ (accessed 5/1/2014)
