- The Orsay Museum devotes a very nice exhibition on Degas and the opera. One can admire the paintings of ballerinas and little rats, but also more broadly the paintings of an era, that of Paris in the 1880s.
- Degas made during all his life, of the Opera its universe of predilection. His passion for this universe is obvious.
- It is the whole universe of the Opera that interests him. The ballerinas of course, but also the musicians, from the orchestra pit to the backstage, the spectators from the boxes to the foyer, from the intermissions to the after-parties. Moreover, at the end of his life, Degas affirmed that for him the ballerina had only been a "pretext".
