Carmen & Tosca
Mobile Opera • Masonic Temple, Mobile, Alabama
Carmen • October 2021
Tosca • March 2022
These two shows were designed to use the same scenic elements. They were both part of the 2021-22 Season and played in the same theatre. There are no wings in this theatre, so the other challenge to the design was to use all the units in every Act of each opera. In Act III of Tosca the main archway was designed to split in half and lay down on the stage to make the ramparts.
