This lovely painting depicts a location in my historical mystery, Finding Sylvie.
Sylvie studies violin at the Paris Conservatory in 1912. She also plays in the Châtelet Theater orchestra for the premier of Maurice Ravel’s ballet, Daphnis et Chloé.
Le Châtelet hosted other important premiers in pre-WWI Paris. Stravinsky’s Petrushka and Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune debuted here. Today, Le Châtelet is home to opera, dance, symphony, and musical theater performances.
Stay tuned for more posts about music, Paris, and Finding Sylvie.
