Chimay to Wear Flesh Tights In Opera Controversy
Detroit social figure Clara Ward known as Princess de Chimay plans to star in an opera by Le Mercier themed on the Chimay lineage.

The plan aims to bring the work to the United States if successful, with Ward rumored to support her estranged husband financially.
