Postcards from Morocco
Composed by Dominick Argento, this opera is set in a nondescript train station in 1914. Postcards from Morocco follows the story of seven travellers who are characterised by their possessions: a lady with a hand mirror, a lady with a hat box, a lady with a cake box, a man with old luggage, a man with a shoe sample kit, and a man with a cornet case .
For this opera, I worked alongside a team of two other peers and followed directions from the director
For the frame design for this project, given to us by the director, we followed a more absurdist/unusual element to the costumes
For this Opera, I designed and made the costume for "The Lady with the Hand Mirror". Using the silhouettes of the 1950s for the dress and added absurdist/surrealist elements, such as the eyes to convey her scared and paranoid character.
