The mirrors, not just on very wall, but also, in tinier versions, affixed to a piano and a bar in the living room. The stage costumes — in pink and classic black — preserved in display cases in the dining room.

Progress has been made as the mansion was prepared to host Saturday’s private party in support of Opera Las Vegas.
