“ALCINA” | For this production of Alcina at Pittsburgh Opera, we used discarded armor to represent the knights Alcina had imprisoned on her island, a world of Baroque beauty and brutality. As the Scenic Designer, I sourced the 460 individual pieces of armor in this set. I can confidently say I am now familiar with every cheap costume armor retailer on the internet.
