architect/scenic designer/sculpture/genius



My favorite opera designer of the moment is George Tsypin. He was trained as an architect and now does opera design, sculpture, installations, etc etc. It's pretty obvious why I am attracted to his designs.
The designs are as follows (top to bottom): Theodora, The Flying Dutchman, and the Ring Cycle.

de goya, opera, and photoshop

This quarter, we are designing an opera, Rigoletto. The assignment is to realize one scene through model, draftings, etc and I chose the final scene because it is the most emotionally charged.
In the final scene Rigoletto is about to dump the body of the Duke into the river. When he hears the Duke singing in the distance, he opens the bag to realize that the dead body is not the Duke, but his daughter Gilda. Gilda had herself killed in the Duke's place because she is in love with him. When Rigoletto opens the body bag, she sings a beautiful aria for about 8 minutes (because what's an opera without some drama) and then dies.
This collage is my emotional response to the scene. My main source of inspiration was the work of Francisco de Goya. More to come.
For those of you who are UM - bound:

these spaces could become/do for a city that's hardscaped five ways from sunday.
