The image displays the interior of the Teatro La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy, captured from an elevated perspective within the empty auditorium. A single male figure is seated on a dark bench at a black Yamaha grand piano, positioned under a prominent circular spotlight on the polished wooden stage. His hands are placed on the piano keys, suggesting engagement in playing or practice. Two black microphone stands are positioned near the piano. The background of the stage is dominated by a rich, dark green velvet curtain featuring vertical folds, repeating patterns of small, reflective, teardrop-shaped ornaments, and an ornate decorative border along its base. Above the main curtain hangs a matching green velvet valance with fringe. The proscenium arch and the grand ceiling are elaborately decorated with extensive gold leaf, light blue and green painted frescoes, and sculptural details, including a clock with Roman numerals centrally located above the proscenium. Multiple tiers of ornate, empty private boxes flank the stage, similarly adorned with gold and painted elements. The auditorium's rows of empty, reddish-brown upholstered seats are visible in the foreground and mid-ground, remaining in shadow compared to the brightly lit stage.
