This rare and scarce Opéra de Paris program highlights the Merce Cunningham Dance Company’s guest appearances in 1997–1998, featuring, among others, the legendary Scenario (1997) — performed in Paris at the Opéra Garnier in January 1998 — the production is especially prized for its striking, sculptural costumes by Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons.
