THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.
This co-production with the Pizzuti Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art, in partnership with Fashion Week Columbus and
BalletMet 2, is set among three galleries of the Pizzuti Collection of CMA. Performers wearing custom couture glide between all three floors of the galleries (especially curated for this show), while interacting with you, the patron. Masks, handed out upon entrance, add an element of mystery, allowing guests to be part of the production.

The Poppea Project (The Coronation of Poppea) is an immersive operatic and visual art experience to introduce modern art in combination with opera. The concept is structured much like the theatrical production of Sleep No More in NYC. The goal is to reinvigorate opera and art patrons and to appeal to a new audience by introducing them to opera and art in an intriguing fashion.
