A Night at the Opera, Part III

Mary Stevenson Cassat (American, 1824-1936 ) • At the Opera • 1878 • Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Opera in the Victorian era was as much for the performance, as it was for the social display of socialites and their fine attire. The latter perhaps having been more important. To see and be seen was so much a part of the opera experience, that with the advent of electric lights and the ability to dim the hall during performances, was met with complaints that patrons weren't able to view their surroundings.

Opera glasses were an integral part of the opera experience. All the better for views of the latest styles and courtship couplings. Opera glasses were being manufactured in beautiful, ornate styles to appeal to fashionable Victorians.

Gentlemen wore top hats and tails to the opera. Just as important as clothing were the rules men had to follow when escorting a lady. For example, during intermission, when many opera-goers left their seats to promenade in the halls, a gentleman was obligated to ask if his lady companion was interested in doing so. If she declined, it was considred unmannerly to leave her seated alone at a performance.

MWW Artwork of the Day (11/14/23) Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917) Mme. Jeantaud in the Mirror (c. 1875) Oil on canvas, 70 x 84 cm. Musée d'Orsay, Paris

The familiar, comfortable realism of this painting is characteristic of the portraits of the 1870s, but the composition is highly original. Indeed the model appears in a three-quarter view with her head turned away and seems to be glancing at herself in the mirror before she goes out. The reflection therefore seems to be looking straight at the spectator, who is caught in the centre of a complex series of glances from Berthe-Marie to the spectator via the mirror. The mirror, symbolising the virtual and the illusory, short circuits the depth of traditional perspective. Central to the composition and the dynamic it creates, the reflection is swiftly brushed in black whereas the model is more precisely painted and more carefully worked over.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French,1841–1919) • Le Déjeuner des canotiers (Luncheon of the Boating Party) • 1882 • The Phillips Collection, Washington D.C.

Le Déjeuner des canotiers depicts a group of Renoir's friends gathered around tables, enjoying a post-boating meal and conversation. The man sitting on the right is Gustave Caillebotte, another famous Impressionist. The woman on the left, playing with the little dog is Aline Charigot, Renoir's future wife.
