• Slashing and Smearing Opera History? All in a Day's Work. (dailygazette.com) — Franklin Lakes quietly plays a starring role in the Metropolitan Opera's new season, housing the massive costume archive that designer Montana Levi Blanco is raiding and reinventing for two major productions. Thousands of historic garments are stored in a climate‑controlled bunker there, then shuttled to Lincoln Center to be slashed, painted, and transformed into ghostly new looks. It's an unusual creative experiment that also spotlights the town's behind‑the‑scenes cultural importance.
