[Metropolitan Opera]. Curtain Pieces.
Nine pieces from various curtains that once hung in the Metropolitan Opera, all from the collection of former head usher David Garrity.  The pieces come in a variety of fabrics and patterns, including one section of cording, 13 inches in length. Light wear consistent with age, overall in fine condition. Fabric pieces ranging in size; largest 15.75 x 3 inches (40 x 7.6 cm.), smallest 4.25 x 3.25 inches (10.8 x 8.3 cm.).

These are evidently from the The Metropolitan Opera House (also known as "the old Met"), which opened on October 22, 1883, and was located at 1411 Broadway in ManhattanNew York City. Demolished in 1967, it was the first home of the Metropolitan Opera Company. In 1903, architects Carrère and Hastings extensively redesigned the interior of the opera house and the first of the Met's signature gold damask stage curtains was installed in 1906, completing the look that the old Metropolitan Opera House maintained until its closing.
