Carmen

as some of you know, lighting design is one of my great loves. i usually design one big show a year, often opera, because it affords me the scale and spectacle to keep the design processes working really hard! otherwise my mind doesn't get enough exercise, haha!

so this year it's the fabulous french opera CARMEN. most of you know the passionate tale of the wilful gypsy girl and the lovesick soldier. it's gonna be a very different look from past operas i've lit, like TURANDOT

or MADAMA BUTTERFLY

CARMEN will have very minimal set, so the imagery will be carried largely by lighting and projection. i'm excited! it's a director i like working for, a company i know well, and brilliant singers from around the world.

so if you're in singapore 21st to 25th january, come see! it won't be your average night on the town, for sure!
