Antique Paris Opera Theater Costume 1880 AIDA Depicting Egyptian Story Dress Tunic Metallic Gold Trim PINK
A piece of history that I am beyond appreciative to own 5 of for the time being. I will be listing all 5 "Tunics" or "dresses"
The play depicts a time in ancient Egypt
Opera name AIDA
Palais Garnier, Paris: 22 March 1880, sung in French, with Gabrielle Krauss as Aida, Rosine Bloch as Amnéris, Henri Sellier as Radamès, Victor Maurel as Amonasro, Georges-François Menu as the King, and Auguste Boudouresque as Ramphis
This costume appears to be a mens tunic, as I have another style that appears to be a woman's. Although this is pink, so I am unsure. My assumption is that these costumes are for background characters
There have been many names written inside, all sorts of alterations and repairs
This particular one does have decades old damage, along with some tarnishing to the gold in some areas. They all have a light odor as well, they must have been in a damp basement for decades
It is a piece of history, being sold as you see for collection and study
