American singers acquired even greater prominence with Geraldine Farrar and Rosa Ponselle becoming important members of the company. Enrico Caruso arrived in 1903, and by the time of his death 18 years later had sung more performances with the Met than with all the world’s other opera companies combined. In the 1890s, Nellie Melba and Emma Calvé shared the spotlight with the De Reszke brothers, Jean and Edouard, and two American sopranos, Emma Eames and Lillian Nordica. In the German seasons that followed, Lilli Lehmann dominated the Wagnerian repertory and anything else she chose to sing. Christine Nilsson and Marcella Sembrich shared leading roles during the opening season. The Metropolitan Opera has always engaged many of the world’s most important artists. In the company’s early years, the management changed course several times, first performing everything in Italian (even Carmen and Lohengrin), then everything in German (even Aida and Faust), before finally settling into a policy of performing most works in their original language, with some notable exceptions. The Metropolitan Opera was founded in 1883, with its first opera house built on Broadway and 39th Street by a group of wealthy businessmen who wanted their own theater. Starting with the 2018–19 season, Yannick Nézet-Séguin took the musical helm of the company as the Met’s Jeannette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director. To revitalize its repertoire, the Met regularly presents modern masterpieces alongside the classics.

If you contact: or call 212.799.3100 x2399 you could possibly get this necklace. However- we cannot sell it to you! Crystals ore the property of the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC. With the rarity of the crystals, and the amount of the spinel strands used, this necklace sells for 640. We stamped the logo onto a disc to make the edge finish superb.

The clasp is a handmade S-hook in the front- which makes it both subtle and functional. Spinel is more rare than rubies or sapphires, although they are formed in the same geological conditions and regions. Spinel is super hard on the Mohs chart, therefore it has an incredible finish.īack to the necklace! Good ingredients make this the most sparkly, lovely piece. We paired it with several strands of super fine micro-faceted black spinel beads. This type is 25mm round and is my personal favorite.

There are very few of each crystal available. These pieces of jewelry come with an official Certificate Of Authenticity. The crystals that we use were replaced during a major overhaul by the original Austrian chandelier maker. We are lucky enough to be able to work with the genuine crystals that have been on the world famous Sputnik Chandeliers for over 50 years.
