Meanwhile, “Tosca’s” 140 or so costumes are in the midst of early fittings. Once finishing touches have been completed - and those four ensembles remade for the new Brunhilde - “The Ring’s” costumes must be organized in a basement warehouse and prepped for the cross-plaza journey to the opera house backstage by Production Coordinator Manuel Gutierrez, an 18-year veteran of the opera.
Hundreds of costumes, including hats, shoes and fake foam muscles, are organized on metal racks in various parts of the fourth floor shop. Many of the pieces worn in “The Ring” series are splattered with metallic paint. These costumes are gruff and industrial, a cross between war-torn Germany, a biker gang and Burning Man.
Costumes for all four shows of “The Ring” are just about finished and in the final stages of fittings before rehearsals.
