Set design for Act III of the opera Gustave III, ou Le bal masqué, composed by Daniel Auber with a libretto by Eugène Scribe. Created for the première performance at the Salle Le Peletier of the Paris Opera on 27 February 1833.
The opera concerns some aspects of the real-life assassination of Gustav III, King of Sweden. Its libretto was used as the original basis for Giuseppe Verdi's later Un ballo in maschera, though Italian censorship forced numerous changes to that version.Set design credit: Pierre-Luc-Charles Cicéri; restored by Adam Cuerden
