We promised a part two to our Chagall shenanigans, and here it is! Last time we covered the inner circle of his gargantuan Paris Opera ceiling, and now we'll cover the rest of the beauty surrounding it. Operas, ballets, symphonies - what more could we ask for in a Notes in Strokes episode? Sadly, Chagall gave us way too much to try to encircle in just a couple of episodes, so we've come up with a way to boil things down. We hope you enjoy this second visit to the Paris Opera!
