The ceiling mural of the Paris Opera House is so beautiful

When Marc Chagal, who is buried in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, painted a new mural for the ceiling of the Paris Opera House, he said: "I want to be up there, like a mirror Bouquets of flowers reflect the dreams and creations of actors and musicians And below The audience can move to the colors of their clothes Everything is like birds singing There is no theory or method Just a tribute to the great writers of opera and ballet. " In 1963, the 77-year-old Chagall was recommended as the designer of the ceiling mural of the Paris Opera House. Although there were many opponents, Chagall spent a whole year completing this huge canvas with an area of ​​220 square meters, using up 200kg of oil paint. During the opening ceremony in 1964, the Opera House played the last movement of Mozart's "Cupid Symphony" by Chagall's favorite composer. In the last few notes, the large crystal chandelier on the ceiling lit up, Chagall's The ceiling mural flashes before people's eyes. In the picture, Chagall uses colors to pay tribute to music masters Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, Debussy and other composers, as well as actors and dancers. The colors flow like music. The viewers were overwhelmed and burst into prolonged applause.
