Opera
Author(s): David Leventi; Plácido Domingo; Marvin Heiferman (Text by); Thomas Mellins (Foreword by)
This collector's edition of David Leventi's Opera is limited to 15 signed and numbered copies. It includes the book and a C-print, "Palais Garnier." Photographing the interiors of some of the most storied and illustrious opera houses around the world, David Leventi has constructed an arresting, visually rich survey of grand architecture. Opera brings together in one publication images from over 40 opera houses, spanning four continents and over 400 years of history, and includes a foreword by Pl cido Domingo. Taken over an eight-year period and shot on a large-format camera, the images demonstrate Leventi's meticulous approach to his subject, revealing these temples of music in all their wealth of architectural detail and design.
Product Information
"I experience an almost religious feeling walking into a grand space such as an opera house," says Leventi. And yet from this sumptuousness he creates an ordered typology in a way that links his work to artists such as Bernd and Hilla Becher.Part of the way Leventi achieves that order is by repeatedly photographing from the stage, looking back out at the audience--just where the singer might stand.--Myles Little "TIME Lightbox "
