The Harpies/Signor Deluso
We opened our two one act operas this past weekend. Directed by Bruce Cohen, Music Direction by Bob Gehrenbeck, scenic design by me, lighting design by student Samuel J. Hess, costume design by Tracey Lyons, props managed by student Michael Bates, stage managed by student Samantha Ness, and tech direction by Ruth Conrad-Proulx with student ATDs Abby Smith-Lezama and Mary Sportiello.
The pics below are from the first dress rehearsal. I have to sort through the photos from final dress, but once I do, I will post a selection.
Here’s Ruth talking to Sam over the tech table. That’s board operator Trevor to the left.
