Met Opera Art Nouveau Bookmark & Ornament
This metal bookmark is based on an illustration from the 1903-04 Metropolitan Opera program -- the season that legendary tenor Enrico Caruso made his Met debut singing the Duke in Rigoletto. The distinctive Art Nouveau design reflects the new style of visual arts and architecture that came to the world’s attention at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris.
Founded in 1883, the Met is a vibrant home for the most creative and talented artists, including singers, conductors, composers, orchestra musicians, stage directors, designers, visual artists, choreographers, and dancers from around the world.
The stylish bookmark also makes a great ornament.

History
Diva
Diva is an Italian word derived from the Latin divus, which literally translates as “the divine one” or “goddess.”
In the world of opera, however, diva takes on a more exalted meaning, referring to the principal female singer on stage and harking back to a time when opera singers were music’s biggest stars.
