In At the Opera familiar elements from Lempicka's earlier works are reimagined in a new, dynamic composition. The poised woman at the heart of the scene, wrapped in the luxurious atmosphere of the opera house, seems to embody both the drama of the performance and the intimate allure of the spectator. The column behind her recalls the stately presence in Portrait of the Duchess of La Salle and Marjorie Ferry, grounding the composition in classical elegance. The delicate lace, reminiscent of Nana de Herrera, adds a layer of texture and sensuality, softening the sharp modernity of the figure. Together, these elements weave a complex narrative of refinement, tension, and desire, encapsulating the intoxicating world of the opera where art, music, and human emotion converge in a moment of high society spectacle.
