TALES OF HOFFMANN
Stage Director: Kay Walker Castaldo
Scenery by Boyd Ostroff
Preliminary Designs
Version 2: 7/26/98
Designer's Note:
In this "side trip" I decided to completely re-design the set to give it more of an expressionist feeling. These designs were very preliminary and did not have any of the details needed for each scene. They represent ideas for rearranging scenic units and using lighting to establish each scene. After some discussion with the Stage Director, we decided to revert back to something closer to the original concept, however some elements of this version were retained.
