Kira Chan As far as I know, used costumes are sometimes bought and sold between different opera houses and sometimes even to the public... But many times they're just left hanging about in some storage space.

Most often costumes for opera are worn for the entire season by the performer. If the production is in annual rotation the costume will be reused for the new season, and the costume would be altered if the singer has changed in shape slightly or a new performer is cast in the role. When the production is reimagined with a new director/designer these costumes will be retired and archived for future reference. In the case of a lot of ballets, costumes are often circulated and restored between programmes and cane be worn by many dancers even over the course of 50 years or more should the costume last. These costumes rarely go to waste as they tend to be very costly in terms of production hours and labour alongside materials, and also serve as a way of learning new techniques or playing a part of theatres history!
