Peter Schmid, world-renowned jewelry maker, is launching his all-new exhibition at Patina Gallery, Captivating Brilliance , inspired by the Santa Fe Opera’s 2018 production of Giacomo Puccini’s Madame Butterfly , writes Ilaria Ruggiero in this exhibition review. The exhibition will open on August 10th at Patina Gallery at 131 West Palace Avenue, Santa Fe. Captivating Brilliance will showcase pieces greatly influenced from the movements of Orientalism and Exoticism that were popular at the time of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly debut. An amazing crossover of inspirations and ideas, on one hand coming from the most current interpretations of Puccini's opera, on the other hand from ancient rituals,
