On her first day as an intern in the millinery workshop, Elisa loses her way in the corridors of the Bastille Opera under Laure’s guidance. Grégory, ballet master, begins overseeing Hofesh Shechter’s new contemporary creation, Red Carpet. Six levels below ground, Michel supervises the assembly of the sets before they are brought up to the stage.

In the workshops, Jean-Philippe inspects the production of the sculpted elements, while on stage Coline, stage manager, prepares the evening’s performance: Le Barbier de Séville.
