| In this highly charged, theatrical chamber opera, The Rape of Lucretia (premiered 1946), Benjamin Britten meditates on these questions through the presentation of a story whose source reaches back to Ovid and Shakespeare. |
| Paul Steinberg designed the costumes, as well as the setting, in which an immense wall curves across the rear of the stage and another, smaller wall, covered with a dull gray pattern, pivots out to provide the backdrop for the Chorus' scenes. �The gray wall--I call it the Pinter wall--represents the contemporary world of the Chorus,� says Steinberg. �The other wall is clearly a more primitive, sexual space.� Carson works within these spaces, shaping them with light to create the broken worlds of Britten's imagination. �The lighting,� says Carson, �had to find a way to capture the tension between these two forces, as they were physicalized in the set. Through color temperature and extreme angles I was able to expand and contract the space.�(Review-The Rape of Lucretia) |

| Harvey Milk Review -Ross A. Perry, the choreographer, and Paul Steinberg, the set designer, deserve the highest praise for their imagination. The set and choreography these two artists created told the story without words and without actors or singers. One of the most memorable aspects of the set was a pink triangle coming forth from the ceiling and a yellow one following, forming the Jewish star. The stage was also in the form of a triangle. At one point the chorus lines up along the two sides of the triangle with Milk at the base. |
| (Review - Lulu) The production is unobtrusively ingenious. Wedekind�s story and Berg�s score can hardly have been set in any single place or era; rather they are best given the universalisation of Hollywood. This is precisely what set designer Paul Steinberg and costume designer Buki Shiff have achieved.(Lighting Designer
