    Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino’s Amazon Prime Video collection “Étoile” is ready within the elite ballet worlds of Paris and New York Metropolis, and whereas the 2 dance firms featured within the collection are fictional, the present utilized actual areas that hyperlink every to the famed (and actual) ballet establishments of every metropolis.

    The co-creators instructed IndieWire this visible affiliation was intentional and essential. A principal purpose of the collection was to seize dance being carried out on the highest degree, not in contrast to what one would see on the famed New York Metropolis Ballet, most well-known for its yearly vacation performances of “The Nutcracker.” Bodily grounding the present’s fictional firms in these actual establishments helped make that connection.

    Jenny Slate at FX’s “Dying For Sex” New York Premiere held at SVA Theatre on April 02, 2025 in New York, New York.

    In New York, that meant taking pictures on the very recognizable Lincoln Heart.

    Lincoln Heart and Past

    “We didn’t need it to be so fictionalized that you just didn’t acknowledge it,” Palladino instructed IndieWire. “We actually need individuals who know New York to actually get the sense that is type of the New York Metropolis Ballet, however not fairly. It’s fictionalized, however it’s set within the one of many iconic cultural facilities of New York Metropolis.”

    “Étoile” producer Dhana Gilbert instructed IndieWire that the long-lasting Lincoln Heart exterior shouldn’t be solely one of the sought-after areas in New York, but additionally one of many hardest to guide. In line with Gilbert, the NYC establishment made an exception for “Étoile,” because of the collection’ mission to carry ballet to a wider common viewers.

    “They needed to be a part of one thing that helped carry a brand new technology to ballet and to the humanities,” mentioned Gilbert. “That they had by no means structured a deal the way in which that they did with us, which is basically we partnered and shaped what was nearly a stage settlement with them, as a result of they understood how Dan and Amy had been making an attempt to carry an consciousness to the humanities.”

    The New York portion of “Étoile” Season 1 shot for 12 weeks, throughout a interval that stretched from June to October. Lincoln Heart is already one of many metropolis’s most sought-after movie and TV areas, however the busy summer season pageant season meant that, whereas taking pictures, the outside grounds had been even busier than regular. By structuring their deal “like a stage settlement,” Lincoln Heart agreed to test in with the Amazon Prime Video collection earlier than agreeing different shoots and out of doors occasions to make use of their campus.

    Whereas Lincoln Heart additionally permitted “Étoile” to shoot within the foyer of The Metropolitan Opera Home, the collection was solely in a position to make use of a single main inside area: the grand Met lobby. The dance-heavy TV present wanted much more entry and taking pictures days than Lincoln Heart might ever accommodate; subsequently, manufacturing moved throughout the Hudson River to the New Jersey Performing Arts Heart (NJPAC) and right into a theater area that was the approximate dimension of the Lincoln Heart stage the place the New York Metropolis Ballet performs. The “Étoile” crew lower a take care of NJPAC that gave them the required time and management over the theater to construct, stage, rehearse, and shoot its ballet productions, lots of which utilized basic units from established productions like “Romeo and Juliet.”

    For the fictional NYC ballet’s firm’s places of work and rehearsal area, manufacturing designer Invoice Groom drew inspiration from Lincoln Heart’s personal non-stage interiors. Contemplating how a lot the “Étoile” exteriors had been shot at Lincoln Heart, the place massive plazas are surrounded by the establishment’s architecturally-distinct workplace buildings, Groom knew he would want to construct interiors that matched the slim and tall (floor-to-ceiling) concrete home windows that outline its Sixties trendy exterior.

    Inside Areas

    However “Étoile” can also be a office comedy, during which the ballet-obsessed characters really stay their jobs. From a storytelling perspective, Groom wanted to construct workplace interiors that mirrored the characters, which didn’t all the time align with the precise Lincoln Heart.

    This was true for Jack McMillan (Luke Kirby), whose spacious and stylish workplace is the middle of the fictional firm’s interior workings, relationships, and drama. From the beginning, Groom instinctively noticed Jack’s workplace as having a extra old-world wooden panel look.

    “I scouted that constructing extensively, all 5 flooring of workplace area, however I couldn’t fairly determine tips on how to reconcile that Jack’s workplace inside as a wood-paneled inside on this very Sixties trendy inside that I used to be seeing at Lincoln Heart,” Groom instructed IndieWire. On the manufacturing designer’s final location scout cease, he stumbled upon the Benefactor’s Lounge at Lincoln Heart. “I walked in and it had the entire parts of Lincoln Heart, the slim home windows, floor-to-ceiling, and it was this flat wooden paneling. It was simply stunning,” he mentioned. “And I assumed, ‘Wow, that is how I can justify Jack’s workplace.’”

    The Paris Leg

    The equally grand and welcoming workplace of Jack’s Paris counterpart, Geneviève Lavigne (Charlotte Gainsbourg), is a library location Groom found and that the Palladinos beloved. There was extra flexibility with Geneviève’s area, as a result of the fictional “Étoile” Paris firm wasn’t rooted in only one particular arts establishment like Lincoln Heart, however moderately the amalgamation of three.

    The skin of the Nationwide Theatre of the Opéra Comique in Paris was used for the outside of the fictional Paris firm. The Théâtre du Châtelet was used to shoot the precise ballet performances. And The Palais Garnier, the place the Paris Opera Ballet performs, was the mannequin for the grand inside areas round the primary stage.

    “Dan and Amy had achieved a personal tour [of the Garnier] once they had been creating the present, and so they acquired to go to all of the again rooms and go to that unimaginable establishment,” mentioned Gilbert. “And there’s one room particularly, that’s actually just like the holding area, the warm-up room immediately behind the primary stage, which is spectacular.”

    Though the Garnier was welcoming to “Étoile,” the government-owned constructing couldn’t be made accessible to the manufacturing. Regardless, the precise warm-up area the creators fell in love with on their tour was too small an area for his or her taking pictures wants, so the Garnier would function a direct and recognizable inspiration for the bigger model Groom constructed on a soundstage.

    “Étoile” choreographer Marguerite Derricks added, “The main points in what Invoice Groom does, the dancers freaked out once they first walked on [the Garnier-inspired set] in Paris as a result of it seemed like The Paris Opera Ballet on steroids.”

    All episodes of “Étoile” at the moment are streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
