- Original title
- L'Opéra
- Storyline
- Within the "microsociety" of the Paris Opera Ballet, housed in the beautiful Palais Garnier, also known as L'Opéra, are our three protagonists: 35-year-old principal dancer Zoé, up-and-coming 19-year-old Flora and relatively young (at 38) new Director of Dance, Sébastien. Zoe's fast lifestyle has caught up with her as she fights to maintain her place in the company, while Black dancer Flora is desperate to confirm her spot. Sébastien is keen to throw off the coat of tradition and take the Paris Opera Ballet to the top of modern international ballet.
