One of the things I love about opera is that it's the combination of all the art forms, and certainly the world of fashion is a big deal in it.
Melodrama is one of the most stunning art forms. These are stories where the emotions are big, and the situations are big, and the artists believe in the situation dramatically. There's no irony or distance.
All you know is what you think you know, but that isn't always what's real.
