Il Teatro alla Moda – Theater in Fashion is currently at  The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills through November 13. It is the premiere of  the first exhibition to explore Italy’s famous haute couture designers and their impact on the stages of opera, dance and theater. Over 80 costumes, sketches and drawings from Giorgio Armani, Roberto Capucci, Enrico Coveri, Fendi, Alberta Ferretti, Romeo Gigli, Antonio Marras, Missoni, Emanuel Ungaro, Valentino and Gianni Versace will be on display in Beverly Hills to celebrate the current transformation of the Italian Renaissance Beverly Hills Post Office into a distinctive performing arts venue and to honor the designers’ contributions to the performing arts.

Never mind that The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, the show’s presenter, is still under construction. Rather than wait to showcase the world of opera, theater and dance, the arts center opted to put on this over-the-top exhibition of intricately beaded and bejeweled, hand-painted and embroidered theatrical costumes right now in Beverly Hills.

Wed-Fri 12-7 & Sat-Sun 11-6    253 N. Beverly Dr.     General Admission $10. Purchase tickets at the door. Free admission on Wednesdays and for students & children under 12.
