3rd National Tour Costumes

On occasion the U.S. 3rd National Tour (Music Box Company) displays costumes while they play a venue.  I know many very talented and dedicated costumers who are always looking for high quality photographs for their research endeavors, so whenever I come across costumes on display, I take it upon myself to shoot a set.  I have two .zip files available to anyone who is interested in downloading them.  Each file features several high resolution (1738x2304) photographs of the all the following costumes listed, each shot from multiple angles.

Many of these photos are currently used as resources on Anéa's comprehensive Phantom of the Opera Costume Site.  There is a wealth of material there on each costume from the show, and the different versions featured in various productions worldwide.  If you have a question about a costume, the answer can probably be found there!

These photos are an enormous help for researching costume design, fabrics, etc.  If you are interested in downloading these free costume resources, please email me at phantomtango1[at]yahoo[dot]com.

In February of 2006 the Tour stopped in Schenectady, New York at Proctor's Theatre.  During the month-long run, the following costumes were on display in the lobby:  

• Hannibal Slave Girl
• Countess Dress (Il Muto)
• Christine's Masquerade Dress
