Design

The design of Opera 3 was very green card friendly due to the designer looking through Paperclip beforehand and choosing our cloths from stock and steeldeck then disigning accordingly. This was a huge help in terms of the set needing built. The original plan for Moxart and Salieri (Act 1) Was to have two coffins and two laser cut Stave music signs with the composers names, sadly due to unforseen circumstances this opera was cut from the Bill and was replaced with a movement piece by Prokofiev. Thjs concluded in the signs being cut however we kept th two standing coffins, one of which stood 4000mm tall.

Mozart & Salieri

The 'Mozart' Coffin stands 4 meters tall and needs to be hidden during Act 2 by a cloth and completely off stage during Act 3. Not to mention a performer is to sit on top of the coffin and play the fiddle whilst up there. This meant workshop had to build a full steel frame, weld a vertical ladder on to the bag, secure eye bolts to the top to allow it to fly and have opening front & back doors.
