Paris Opéra sells off its treasures
OperaThe Opéra de Paris, struggling to cover its costs on a mere £200 million a year of state funding, is raising funds from a gala auction organised by Sotheby’s later this month.
Society jewellers and watchmakers have donated surplus stock.
It’s so exiting we can hardling bring ourselves to report further.
I hope an archivist checks on the material for sale – I would hate to see an old score or a historical document accidently lost.
