This print shows the view from backstage during a rehearsal of Wagner’s “Die Walküre.” Stephen Spurrier made it in 1927. It’s a print, not a painting. The scene is Act III at Covent Garden. The image was published in an illustrated review, so people could read about the opera and see the setup at once. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
