Original – Philippe Chaperon's set design for Act IV, Scene 2 of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Aida for the 1880 performance in Paris.
Reason
A high-quality example of 19th-century operatic set design, from the première of a rather important opera. I did a bit of restoration to it because it was damaged enough (mainly on the border) to be distracting, but it's faithful to the original. Zoom in for a sense of scale.
