The Paris Opera. One of the most prestigious opera houses in the world. Guillaume Diop has just been appointed star dancer. It is the first time in the history of this institution of French culture that a Black dancer has achieved such acclaim. Overnight, he became a media star.
From the pit, double bassist Sulivan Loiseau plays The Nutcracker. She is the first Black musician to join the Paris Opera orchestra.
In a perfect world, we would only be interested in their exceptional talent. In real life though, the color of their skin still has an impact on their career. Symbols, even role models for some, token hires for others, we follow them for a season at the Paris Opera, as the venerable institution tries to open up to greater representativeness.
