New York City Opera, which filed for bankruptcy protection last month after years of management missteps, won court approval to auction some assets, including costumes, wigs, props and about 60 musical instruments.
The public sale was approved yesterday by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in Manhattan. The auctioneer, Tiger Remarketing Servicing LLC, will get 10 percent of the proceeds from the sale, which also includes the opera’s gift shop inventory of CDs and books and a harp at Lincoln Center in New York.
