Mozart a success!! Back to the lake

I’ve received multiple reports that Mozart is a major success in Tokyo!!! Sold out crowds and standing ovations from audiences that are usually very timid in their reactions.  And now back at the lake for some R&R – heaven!

Here are some of the incredible set designs by Rumi who gave me a wonderful world in which to play.


Designs for Mozart L’Opera Rock in Tokyo, Japan – OUTRAGEOUS!!!

The following are designs for the costumes for the production of Mozart that I’m presently directing for Nelke Programming in Tokyo, Japan.   Four weeks ago they only existed on paper.   In three days we will be doing a full dress rehearsal with more than 600 costumes.  Wild how quickly things are done here.

Mozart Week #1

Week #1 flew by.  The cast is amazing as well as the staff and the crew.  Because the rehearsals were going so well we decided to have a party at the end of the first week to celebrate .  


Mozart Set

This is a picture of the set that we are rehearsing on for the production of Mozart.   The stage crew built a mock up of the real set in the rehearsal hall.  It’s really quite amazing.  The entire platform rotates 360 degrees by using only three stage hands.  Twelve actors can stand on the platform while it rotates.   It’s a great piece of scenery .  The actual set is being constructed by PRG here in Tokyo.


NEXT UP : MOZART in Tokyo Japan

Looking forward to returning to Tokyo for this incredibly exciting adventure.  The rock opera is Mozart meets Lady Gaga!!!  An amazing design team and an amazing cast. More to follow.
