The mood was set by the lighting designer's ingenious palette of blue, red and yellow.. . . Kudos again to lighting designer Duane Schuler for a magical storm scene.
Otello Storm - The opening storm scene is a little show off time. In the first 5 minutes of that opera everything in the world is happening. We try to make it believable that there's a full scale storm going on so that the calm after the storm is that much more calm.
�There was light bouncing all over the place,� Schuler reports. However, he discovered that he could use followspots from the towers without seeing their light on the ground. �It is always a black void,� he reveals. �The advantage is that light on people does not show on the floor. This is a great look when it is right for the piece.� He also found that the shiny floor gave the set a crisp look with high contrast, while the portals took color beautifully. �The singers absolutely shimmered in the midst of this world.�
