“Bal à l’Opéra”. David Niven, Princess Grace, Prince Rainier, Aristotle Onassis. Monte Carlo 1959.
A high-angle view captures the sophisticated atmosphere of the “Bal à l’Opéra” in Monte Carlo, 1959. Guests, including David Niven, Princess Grace, Prince Rainier, and Aristotle Onassis, are seated at an exceptionally long and elegantly set dining table. Men in tuxedos and women in evening gowns dine and converse under the intimate glow of numerous candelabras, each topped with small lampshades. The bustling scene is one of lively, formal sociability, with fine china and floral centerpieces adorning the length of the table.
