Next week the Met premiers a new production of Le Comte Ory and the women's costumes are AMAZING! These are just a few of the "peasant lady" costumes that I was prepping the other day. They are simple yet so elegant and cheery! I wish I had snapped a pic of the hats because they are adorable. Hopefully once the show opens there will be some good press photos to share. Here is what (Tony Award winning) Costume Designer Catherine Zuber had to say about her design:
“We have an active backstage life around our principals and chorus. So I looked at the costume design from the perspective of a company, culling from various time periods. The silhouettes of the peasants for example come from French traditional regional dress. I have always found the extreme shapes of the headwear of this period so delightfully interesting. Since the opera is sung in French, this approach seemed perfect. The color palette of the costumes was inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s famous triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights.”
