Ancient Comedy pursues its harmonies and divides its Idylls: Raised platforms along the boulevards. A long wooden pier the length of a rocky field in which the barbarous crowd moves about under the denuded trees. In corridors of black gauze, following the promenades with their lanterns and their leaves. Birds of the mysteries swoop down onto a masonry pontoon, swayed by the sheltered archipelago of spectators` boats. Operatic scenes with accompaniment of flute and drum look down from slanting recesses contrived below the ceilings around modern club rooms and halls of ancient Orient. The fairy spectacle maneuvers at the top of an amphitheater crowned with thickets,-- or moves and modulates for the Boeotians in the shade of waving forest trees, on the edge of the cultivated fields. The opera-comique is divided on a stage at the line of intersection of ten partitions set up between the gallery and the footlights.SourceThe script ran 0.001 seconds.
