The visual approach in Carnet d’opéra: Regards en coulisses focuses on intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpses of opera production. Gueorgui Pinkhassov captures fleeting moments that reveal the interplay of light, shadow, and human expression away from the stage’s grandeur.

The themes revolve around the preparation and quiet tension that underpin public performances, emphasizing the mood of anticipation and the private world of artists and technicians. The seventy two pages provide a contemplative exploration of the backstage environment through carefully composed, nuanced images.
