ance Class at the Opera" is an oil-on-canvas painting created in 1872 by renowned French artist Edgar Degas. A part of his extensive oeuvre on ballet and dancers, the painting captures a behind-the-scenes view of a class at the Paris Opera, a subject that Degas frequently revisited in both his paintings and pastels. Known for his unconventional composition style, in this painting, Degas offers an off-centered view of the dance studio from a high perspective, with the ballet master Jules Perrot leading a young ballerina in the front.

The painting, measuring 32 1/2 x 30 1/2 inches (82.6 x 77.5 cm), is characterized by Degas's innovative and often radical treatment of space. He divides the canvas with vertical and horizontal lines - created by the studio's rectangle floor mirror and the barre - and he places the figures asymmetrically. The dancers exhibit various levels of skill and discipline, providing a range of motion and form for the viewer's examination.

Exceptional in this painting is the artist's mastery over light and color which contributes to the overall realistic representation of the interiors of the ballet class. With his depiction of the particularities of the dance – the rigorous training, exacting discipline, and collective effort, Degas takes the viewer inside the world of performing arts that was typically hidden from the general public.

"Dance Class at the Opera" offers a compelling insight into the artist's interest in the mundane reality of contemporary Parisian life, and is held as a masterful representation of Degas's body of work in the Impressionist movement. Currently, the painting is part of the esteemed collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
