Sadly not a lot of good portfolio pictures were taken by our photographer full stage, here's an idea of it was though to the right. The scenery was done with 3 show portals that echoed these circles, but also looked like a spiral staircase leading us down into the depths of hell. Dante was a theatrical retelling of Dante's inferno as we travelled through the 9 circles of hell. This a production I lit for Synetic Theatre in their home at Rosslyn Spectrum. So I'll wrap up today's post with a design of my own, and this time not at some big opera company. Add that to the fact that we were dealing with a gloss white set, and a sunset into night had to happen, color mixing by double, or triple hanging everything was not a good way to go because it would have lit of the set like a Christmas Tree and would have become "Elixir of Love" starring the Gazebo. Roughly 23' - 0" wide and 20' - 0" deep, at it's widest point, there was only 10' - 0" of electric to hang lights before you were behind a leg, and it's shape made it virtually impossible to shoot around. You will notice the GIANT gazebo sitting in the center of the stage (A zoomed out shot happens around 1:25), it's kind of hard to miss in all it's glossy white glory. While not specifically from the production I assisted on with Michigan Opera, It's the same set and it's also, I think, the same Lighting Designer, Paul Palazzo but in San Francisco.
