“On Show” – Great Exhibitions with Patrick Bade

Bijoux – Stage Jewels exhibition at the Garnier Paris Opera

It sparkles, it amazes, it dazzles. The Paris Opera’s stage jewellery, specially designed to be worn on stage, contributes as much to the glamour of the institution as to that of its performers.

An exhibition of the Paris Opera’s stage jewelry showcases these dazzling accessories, essential to the magic of performances. Beyond their beauty, stage jewelry has held a vital role since the 19th century, often serving as a central plot element or enhancing the understanding of theatrical action.
