Storia
L'Opéra follows three central characters navigating their careers and lives within the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet at the Garnier Opera house. Zoé, a 35-year-old principal dancer, struggles to maintain her position as her fast lifestyle catches up with her. Flora, a 19-year-old Black dancer, is eager to secure her spot in the company. Meanwhile, Sébastien, the relatively young new Director of Dance at 38, aims to modernize the ballet company and propel it to international acclaim.
Zoé's personal issues threaten her professional life, while Flora faces challenges as a woman of color breaking into the traditionally white ballet world. Sébastien grapples with resistance from the establishment as he attempts to implement his vision for the company.
Riassunto
L'Opéra is a French drama series set within the revered Paris Opera Ballet at the iconic Garnier Opera house, exploring the dreams, ambitions, and realities faced by its dancers and administrators. The series delves into the microsociety of the ballet world, where tradition clashes with modernity, and ambition often comes up against expectation.
At its core are three protagonists: Zoé, a principal dancer fighting to preserve her career amidst personal struggles; Flora, a young Black dancer battling for recognition in an industry not known for diversity; and Sébastien, the new Director of Dance seeking to contemporize the company while facing internal resistance. Through their intertwined narratives, L'Opéra explores themes of ambition, corruption, purity, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
