"Theatre fashioned, the costumes of the great designers






Dal 5 novembre al 5 dicembre, il Museo Fondazione Roma presenta la mostra “Il teatro alla moda. Costume di scena. Grandi stilisti”, curata da Massimiliano Capella e realizzata sotto l’alto patronato del Presidente della Repubblica Italiana. L’esposizione riunisce cento costumi originali, accanto a bozzetti, figurini made during the famous theater, opera and dance from the big names in fashion.

The costumes by Gianni Versace, Roberto Capucci, Emanuel Ungaro, Fendi, Missoni, Giorgio Armani, Antonio Marras, Romeo Gigli, Alberta Ferretti, Valentino, Enrico Coveri are exhibited in the halls and, in many cases, combined with video documentaries that allow to admire them worn by stars and by the greatest performers of the show, during theater performances and, therefore, in the context for which they were born. The viewer may thus relive the greatest moments in the history of theater, opera and dance, and discover the quality of "Made in Italy" through clothing of extreme refinement. The fashion thus becomes the protagonist of the scene, as well as key to review shows and performances, which were the result of a harmonious blend of the arts, merged to create magical illusions.

no coincidence, the very title of the exhibition is copied from the text by Benedetto Marcello, the Theatre in the fashion of 1720, a treaty from the humorous tone that precedes the issue of contamination between the arts and the overcoming of segmentation between the different disciplines , typical of the twentieth century. In fact, in the nineteenth century the fashion scene appears in Worth, Poiret, but in 1924 with the costumes for Le Train Bleu Cocteau created by Coco Chanel Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev's invitation that will create a real correspondence between the arts. In the wake of Chanel in the early eighties, the names of the major Italian designers will appear on billboards of the most prestigious opera companies and ballet: a few of their works will be exhibited in Rome, where you can admire a selection of theatrical costumes from the collections of Teatro alla Scala, Piccolo Teatro di Milano, the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, Teatro Regio di Parma, the Teatro San Carlo di Napoli, National, Opera in Washington DC, as well as the house involved and the collections of actors and singers.
