The Two Women in my Life

July 22, 2009 - This week is completely absorbed with the bringing to fruition of Little Patuxent Opera Institute's production of Sister Angelica and with crystallizing the design concepts for Opera Vivente's opening production of the 2009-2010 season: Rossini's Cinderella. (As an aside, I'm thrilled to announce that Don Thomas will be completing the design team as lighting designer). While these two title heroines share a few personality traits (goodness, humility, etc.), ultimately they and the two pieces they inhabit are so different that I'm almost feeling bipolar working on them at the same time. Look for more visuals for Cinderella in the next few weeks, but as a teaser I can tell you the look is a bit like M. C. Escher visiting Versailles.

See you at the opera!
