Description
Acrobat Skyhook
Magically balanced atop an arch in mid-air, this vibrant, multi-patterned skyhook or “balance toy” is fashioned in the likeness of an acrobat costumed in teal and dark red pantaloons with yellow accents. A colorful banner swirls dramatically around him as he poses with great precision.
Each one-of-a-kind piece is crafted from recycled metal, hand-painted, and finished with a distressed antique patina.
Entertaining and collectible, the Acrobat Skyhook is reflective of the circus characters seen in the Met’s production of Mozart’s Così fan tutte.

History
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Così fan tutte
Mozart’s third and final collaboration with librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte premiered in 1790. For much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, this comedy about testing the ties of young love was rarely seen on stage, its plot being considered “immoral.” Today it is among the most beloved operas in the repertoire.
