Despite the war, glamor was de rigeur at the 58th opening night of the Metropolitan Opera, 1942.

Monday was the fashionable night at the Metropolitan Opera, and October 28, 1929 was opening night of the season. "The dowager Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt" (as she was always described, at center above the aisle) and guests are sitting in the famous Diamond Horseshoe tiers of boxes. This was the last hurrah before the crash. The stock market was already in crisis, but on the following day, Black Tuesday, stock prices collapsed completely.

Opera Box
My two best friends and I have this black trash can we labeled the "opera box".
If one feels the urge to start singing anything related to musical theater, you have to stand in the opera box.
Don't ask why, just go with it.
