Scarpe Dell'Opera - Red

Our elegant and colorful silk-screened scarf is made from an original design by artist Nadia Roden.
 
Sophisticated and whimsical, it features charming illustrations of shoes, based on original items housed in the Met Archives and worn on stage by famous opera stars. Their names appear in the background, written by hand.
 
Made of silk with hand-rolled hems, the scarf comes in four color—fuchsia, red, yellow and blue—and features a motif around the border that mimics the lacing on antique footwear.
 
Exclusively created for the Met, this enchanting accessory celebrates the rich history of operatic costumes.
 
An ideal gift for lovers of the Met and the world of opera.

Archives

The Metropolitan Opera Archives play an invaluable role in preserving the history of one of the world’s leading performing arts institutions. Since 1957, the Archives have collected hundreds of photos, prints, costumes, props, scores, and other items from Met productions. A searchable online database (metopera.org/methistory) lists every performance since the company’s inaugural 1883–84 season, with complete casting as well as select photos, reviews, and other information.
