Postcards from Morocco

Composed by Dominick Argento, This opera is set in a non-descript train station in 1914, Postcard from Morocco follows the story of seven travellers who are characterized by their possessions: a lady with a hand mirror, a lady with a hat box, a lady with a cake box, a man with old luggage, a man with a shoe sample kit, and a man with a cornet case 

For this opera, I worked alongside a team of two other peers and followed directions from the director

For the frame design for this project, given to us by the director, we followed a more absurdist/unusual element to the costumes 

For this Opera, I was in charge of designing and making the costume for "The Lady with the Handmirror". Using the silhouettes of the 1950s for the dress and adding absurdist/surrealist elements, such as the eyes to convey her scared and paranoid character.
