.You were all right. It's the dress from the second act of La Traviata, the 1994 production. it's on display in Paul Hamlyn Hall at Royal Opera. It was a real pleasure to be able to see it from so close. There are a lot of details that can't be seen from the venue during the performance.
.
It is part of "Forty Years of Royal Opera House Collections" along with some other dresses from La Traviata in 1994 and 1967. This dress was also worn by Kiri Te Kanawa who first appeared as Violetta on 1 January 1980, in a revival of 1967 production. The somptuous dress and accessories were designed by Vera Marzot.
