She explained: 'I didn’t really know what to expect and I never could have had the courage to direct an opera, but then Valentino and Mr [Giancarlo] Giammetti [the designer’s artistic collaborator] asked me.
'I thought what an incredible experience to be able to work in the Rome opera house with the beautiful costumes and the team here, so that motivated me to take a chance and do something that was scary and very unfamiliar.'
Valentino - who is a patron of the opera house - invited Coppola after watching her 2006 movie Marie Antoinette.
