"At the Opera" is a painting by the French artist Paul Albert Besnard (1849–1934), who was known for his contributions to the Symbolist movement and his role in the evolution of French painting at the turn of the 20th century. The work is emblematic of Besnard's fascination with the portrayal of light and its effects on color, a theme that he explored throughout his career. The painting captures a scene of Parisian social life, depicting elegantly dressed figures in the midst of an operatic performance, a subject that was popular among the Impressionist painters of the time.

The composition of "At the Opera" is characterized by its vibrant use of color and dynamic brushwork, which convey the movement and atmosphere of the opera house. Besnard's interest in the interplay of artificial and natural light is evident in the way he illuminates the figures and their surroundings, creating a sense of depth and volume. The painting also reflects the artist's keen observation of contemporary fashion and social customs, providing a window into the cultural milieu of Paris during the Belle Époque.

Paul Albert Besnard was an influential figure in French art, having won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1874 and later becoming a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. His work was widely exhibited in his lifetime, and he received numerous commissions for public and private works. "At the Opera" is considered one of his significant contributions to the genre of social realism, blending his technical skill with a lyrical representation of the leisure activities of the upper classes.

The painting is part of Besnard's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, murals, and genre scenes, all marked by his distinctive use of light and color. "At the Opera" not only showcases Besnard's artistic talents but also serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the societal norms and artistic trends of the period in which it was created.
