Period Silhouettes, Unconventional Materials
An up close preview of the new-to-Seattle costumes for Mozart's THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO. These costumes feature period silhouettes with a surprising twist: much of the fabric is recycled denim! Watch to see how rivets & zipper details fit into 18th-century military coats, the seat of a pair of jeans becomes a servant woman's corselette, and more.
THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO plays January 16-30, 2016.
