This terms opera is called The Consul. It was written by Gian Carlo Menotti and will be directed by Stephen Medcalf, lighting and set designed by Simon Corder, with costume design by Susannah Henry. The conductor is Tim Redmond.
The design is in two parts, the home of the main characters and the consul office. In rehearsals, this means doing a set and props turnaround for the company to rehearse in the correct setting.
This mosaic goes from the consul office (top left) round to the kitchen side.
The student Production Manager for the production said:
“It takes about 8 people to do the turnaround. This is made part by the stage management team and the production management team. In the final photo you can see a preview of the 300+ chairs we have sourced and put into the room”.
Interested to see the finished production, whose first performance is on Monday 30th October.
