Statues of the opera

 

La foule sur la place de l'opera (1896)


Directed by Alexandre Promio this is an early short film. Crowds outside the opera house mill about.


Not great in terms of image quality, hard to make out what is going on and there are a number of long pauses. The people could be anywhere, nothing really ties them to the location or the opera if you are not familiar with Paris of the period. Skip this one in my opinion.


1/5
