Shiseido signed with the Italian opera house La Scala to be its lead partner, according to reports.

For the next three years, the Milan-based cast of artists, dancers and actors are set to wear Shiseido’s makeup line. To introduce its forthcoming 2011 collection, Shiseido has installed a retrospective exhibition in the theater’s lobby that showcases the brand’s advertising campaigns from 1870 through today.

Also, to promote the partnership, Shiseido has realized an advertising campaign that features black-and-white images of opera divas Maria Callas and Shirley Verrett applying make-up, sourced from La Scala’s archives.

The Shiseido Group-owned brand Carita is also set to contribute backstage, offering performers a selection of its skin care, body and hair products, according to reports.
