| Much credit here goes to the lighting design by Stephen Strawbridge in his first SFO assignment. His lighting continually enhances the settings and the drama. (Review Madama Butterfly) |

| (Review Dinah Was) The extraordinary life and music of Dinah Washington is beautifully illuminated at PTC/ Some of Dinah�s success is due to splendid direction (by David Petrarca) and design (sets by Michael Yeargan, lights by Robert Perry/Stephen Strawbridge, costumes by Paul Tazewell). Again the choices are spare and powerful. Petrarca finds exactly the right rhythm for each scene (spoken and musical). And finally a scenic artist that makes a virtue of economy! Michael Yeargan�s visual world is a simple series of icons � a jazz band in a smoky, dark blue-box, a white mink coat on a dressmaker�s form � that evoke the elegant essentials of Washington�s glamorous, troubled life. |
| STEPHEN STRAWBRIDGE has created lighting for over 100 plays, operas and dance/theater works on Broadway, off-Broadway, and at regional theaters across the U.S. and internationally. Recent operatic highlights include Madama Butterfly for his 1997 San Francisco Opera debut, Ariodante and Rigoletto for the Dallas Opera, Madama Butterfly at Opera Pacific, Orfeo ed Euridice and La boh�me for New York City Opera, Cos� fan tutte with Houston Grand Opera, as well as Tan Dun's Marco Polo for City Opera, the Munich Biennale and the Hong Kong Arts Festival. |
