Whether
it’s high notes or high end, fashion and music have always
complemented each other and City Opera's DIVAS Shop
for Opera event celebrated their unique partnership at its 2008 event
at Industria Superstudio in New York’s Meatpacking District
on June 18.
Guests shopped from a diverse selection of deeply discounted alluring
merchandise donated by a long list of fabulous designers. While
shopping, guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres,
followed by music and dancing, and were treated to a spectacular
performance by one of New York City Opera’s very own “Divas”, Heather
Johnson.
Besides being a fabulous party, all proceeds from the evening fund
the design and creation of costumes for new productions at New York
City Opera. Event chairs included John Bartlett,
Phillip Bloch, Patricia Field, Michael Fink, Elsa Klensch, Lorry
Newhouse, Rebecca Taylor, and Robert Verdi.
