dramatic opera stage

Set in the middle of the Lake Constance in Austria for the Bregenz Festival “Opera on the Lake”, this stage looks more like one of Dali’s artwork than a performance venue. Designed for “Andre Chenier” by Umberto Giordano, the figure of the head is from Jacques-Louis David’s 1793  painting, “The death of Marat”. Within the set design is also a 7-meter high golden mirror that acts as a venue for extras and stuntmen, as well as an old book held in the hand of Marat as a stage for the singers.
