In anticipation of an upcoming production of Strauss' Arabella, the Hungarian State Opera took the Strauss opera off-stage and onto the runway, where costume designer Rita Velich's works were shown in anticipation of the March 17 opening night. Arabella will be sung by Eszter Sümegi with conductor Stefan Soltész on the podium. In a day and age where opera houses and concert halls are renting themselves out to fashion houses during the fashion weeks, why not have some in-house fun?
