Even at the height of her career, opera superstar Maria Callas had a rocky relationship with the Metropolitan Opera House, stemming from her artistic differences with thengeneral manager Rudolph Bing. Now, the rocks are back, but in a much more pleasing way. On Friday, the opera house opened “Maria Callas & Swarovski: Jewels on Stage at the Metropolitan Opera,” an exhibit of the jewelry Callas commissioned for her performances throughout her career, until 1965. The exhibit includes 43 of the oversized pieces, from a “bustier necklace” worn for a performance of “La Traviata” to a silver laurel leaf crown worn for “Norma” to a 10-string pearl and crystal necklace worn for “I Puritani.”

“When Maria Callas was alive, the Met was not the most hospitable host to her as a performer,” the general manager, Peter Gelb, said. “Now she has a home, at least temporarily, at the Met, while this exhibit is here.”

Previously unreleased photographs of a bejeweled Callas in various performances accompany the pieces. Bits of trivia, such as the reason Callas’s jewels actually decreased in size later in her career (the advent of television dictated less ostentatious adornments) round out the show. The exhibit is open for viewing during the Met’s current opera performances, but be warned: Your own jewels, in comparison, may appear smaller than they are.

Until March 3 (Metropolitan Opera House, Founders Hall, Lincoln Center, 212-721-6500).
