Description
Seat 14, Row F, at the Palais Garnier. Hélène has sat in it every December for twenty years to watch The Nutcracker, opera glasses in her lap. The first year, she came with her mother. Later, with her own daughter, who now dances in the corps de ballet. Tonight, when the curtain rises and the snowflakes begin to whirl, Hélène lifts her binoculars and finds her daughter instantly, third from the left.
This box joins those two worlds: delicate ballerina slippers placed on a pair of opera binoculars, with fine ballet details throughout. It opens as a trinket box, just right for hairpins or a ticket stub from a special performance. Give it to a young dancer after her first recital, a ballet teacher, a devoted balletomane, or a mother who has driven to a thousand lessons.
Inside and out
- Ballerina slippers resting on opera binoculars
- Delicate details inspired by the ballet
- Opens as a trinket box for small keepsakes
- Elegant theatrical subject for dancers and theatre lovers
- Painted by hand by Limoges artists on French porcelain
Present it backstage with a bouquet after a recital or a final performance, and it will become a cherished keepsake of that night for years to come. Add a programme from the evening to make it complete. Bravo, ma petite. Dancers never forget who came to watch.
