Met Costumes

In honor of Lincoln Center's 50th Anniversary this year, they are displaying various costumes from the Metropolitan Opera in the windows at Macy's on 34th Street. These particular costumes were designed for a 1961 production of Turandot. You can read about some of the other costumes on display at the Metropolitan Opera's website.

The costumes are almost as much a part of the production as the composition and performers themselves. Had not thought about it before, but if they still have costumes from almost 50 years ago, their wardrobe must have enough worthwile to fill a museum of their own!
