EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, two elegantly dressed women, Beer and Premet, are seen enjoying an evening at the Opera Comique in Paris, France, in 1924. The image, titled "In a Theatre Box (In a box at the Opera Comique, Paris, their evening dresses by Molyneux: 2, Beer and Premet can hardly be seen: but when the interval comes, things will be different)," offers a glimpse into the opulence and allure of the opera experience during the Roaring Twenties. The women's stunning evening dresses, designed by the renowned fashion house Molyneux, are the true stars of the photograph. Their intricate beading, flowing silks, and elegant lines exude sophistication and glamour. Despite their exquisite attire, their faces are partially obscured, hinting at the excitement and anticipation that lies ahead during the interval. The Opera Comique, a historic Parisian theater, served as the backdrop for this enchanting moment. The theater, which opened in 1888, was known for its operettas and light entertainment, making it the perfect destination for an evening out. The women's can, or private box, adds to the exclusivity and luxury of their experience. As the title suggests, the interval – the intermission between acts – is when things will be different for Beer and Premet. The opera experience was not just about the performance; it was also about the socializing and enjoying the company of others. The interval provided an opportunity for patrons to mingle, exchange gossip, and perhaps even make new acquaintances. This photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of elegance, luxury, and the magic of the opera. The women's timeless fashion and the allure of the Opera Comique continue to captivate us, reminding us of the enduring power of art and the enchantment of a night at the theater.
