THEN AND NOW · 1989
Revolution · the crowd in front of the Opera: 1989
People gathered in front of the Opera, with its façade and balcony clearly visible. The photograph preserves the banners and the setting of the 1989 gathering. The archive does not establish the exact day; the camera position needs on-site verification.
