PARIS OPERA BALLET


Gérard Uféras, the French photographer who spent more than a year behind the scenes with the dancers of the Paris Opéra Ballet, has recently published In the Company of Stars, an unusual and strangely beautiful book.  Scarcely ever in tutus and stripped of all artifice, members of the prestigious company are portrayed going about their everyday life at the Palais Garnier. Over a hundred photographs show the dancers backstage in the wings, in the elevators or simply warming up in the rehearsal rooms before a performance.
