Design for the Divertissement from " La Pastorale" (First Entree of the opera-ballet " Les Muses" by Danchet and Campra" ), 1703. This drawing represents the elaborate stage set for the opera-ballet Les Muses that premiered in 1703 at the Opera, the most prestigious public theater in Paris. In a city that thrived on spectacle, the opera-ballet was one of the most fashionable forms of entertainment in the 18th century. Berains drawing relates to the third scene in the first of four acts, " La Pastorale, " in which shepherds and shepherdesses pay homage to deities in a wooded grove. The celebration, accompanied by flutes and a musette (small bagpipe) comprised a lighthearted musical interlude or divertissement, an indispensable component of the opera-ballet
