Two Opera Singers 1749 - 1750

"Two Opera Singers" is a porcelain sculpture created by the Meissen Manufactory in 1749–1750. The figures, a man and a woman dressed in elaborate, colorful costumes, are posed in a dramatic moment, likely representing a scene from an opera. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the mastery of Meissen's porcelain production, featuring intricate details and vibrant colors. The sculpture is a prime example of the rococo style, characterized by its playful curves, delicate ornamentation, and focus on theatricality.
