A Tango at the Opera
Opéra Garnier
Paris, October 2021
As I approached the Palais Garnier late in the evening, after a long walk, I was surprised to see a small crowd gathering to watch a group of probably 20 people dancing the Argentine tango under the lights of the opera house. Couples ranged in age from 20 to 70, and all moved with practiced grace; their movements were fluid and graceful despite the abrupt changes of direction that tango is known for.
I immediately grabbed my camera but waited patiently until I had only a few couples in the right place.
This is exactly why I prefer big cities: there's always something special happening. Especially in Paris.
