The Marriage of Figaro
University of North Carolina-School of Music Theatre and Dance
Spring Opera-The Marriage of Figaro
The concept for the show was an abstracted version of the show Downton Abbey. For the lighting I wanted to show that the events take place over the course of a day. Act 1 which is Figaro and Susanna's room, it is morning and I wanted to give the illusion of a sun rising with the 3 walls that were used as cycs that were backlit. Act 2 is the countess's dressing room which takes place during the afternoon. I wanted the walls to capture a look of a noon sun with the side walls to match what became the countess's costume color palette. Act 3 took place at dusk, which we loved the idea of having some of the windows on the walls light up and the interior to have a look of light sources. Act 4 is in the courtyard at night among the trees which alowed for the use of many leaf breakups and a sense of the moonlight being the strongest source outside for light.
