| 2021 – 8 x 45′ – Season 1 – Series – Drama, Music & Dance. L’Op\u00e9ra plunges us into the ultra-romantic universe of the Op\u00e9ra de Paris, that mythic temple of classical dance ensconced in the glittering Palais Garnier.\u00a0 But this behind-the-scenes intrigue goes far beyond tutus and stardust, to reveal the dark underbelly of that monolithic icon, as we follow the paths of three of its protagonists \u2014 Zo\u00e9, an aging prima ballerina with a decadent lifestyle, who is suddenly threatened with expulsion; Flora, an aspiring young Black dancer eager to break into that venerable, often-impenetrable, universe; and S\u00e9bastien, the company\u2019s ruthlessly ambitious new Dance Director, desperate to prove himself.\u00a0 With equal parts sumptuous homage and social commentary, The Opera takes a deep dive into the cut-throat politics behind a major cultural institution.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n L’OP\u00c9RA | 2021 – 8 x 45′ – Season 1 – Series – Drama, Music & Dance.
