Dresden (dpa/sn) - Once as seductive as Carmen in the Bizet opera of the same name: The Semperoper in Dresden is making room in the wardrobe for the New Year and is selling costumes for the first time on January 22nd. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., interested parties can browse the cloakrooms in the foyer for clothing, costume parts, hats, shoes and leftover fabric and buy them at prices between 3 and 99 euros, the Semperoper announced on Tuesday. On offer are handmade unique pieces from the productions "Nabucco", "Le nozze di Figaro", "Carmen", "La Cenerentola", "Dr. Faust" and "Mathis der Maler".
