Chagall – Close to 60,000 Visitors in just 1 Month
CHAGALL: COLOUR AND MUSIC is off to a successful start: since its inauguration on January 28, the exhibition has attracted 58,388 visitors.
The most extensive exhibition devoted to Marc Chagall in Canada, Chagall: Colour and Music explores the omnipresence of music in the artist’s life and work through close to 340 pieces, from his paintings, works on paper, costumes, sculptures, ceramics, stained glass and tapestries to his creations for the stage and grand decorative and architectural projects. It reveals over 40 fabulous costumes and decors for the ballet productions of Aleko (1942), The Firebird (1945) and Daphnis and Chloé (1958–1959) and The Magic Flute opera (1967), as well as an extraordinary projection of the famous ceiling of the Opéra de Paris in the Palais Garnier, which was created by the Lab at the Google Cultural Institute.
