On January 15, 2026, the Metropolitan Opera premieres its new production of Bellini’s I Puritani. Known for its demanding vocal fireworks, this opera attracts the true aficionados of the genre. However, the opening night is as much a social event as a musical one.
For New York’s elite, the intermission at the Grand Tier is where business relationships are cemented. Attire is strictly black tie. Wearing significant jewelry is de rigueur; should you wish to upgrade your collection for the season, consider how a jewelry equity loan can facilitate the purchase of a new statement piece from Van Cleef or Harry Winston.
