Candide Rutgers Theater and Opera at Rutgers Wig Design
Conductor: Ching-Chun Lai Director: Mikhaela Mahony Costume Design: Isabella Rossi Set Design: Caitlin Scarpa Lighting Design: Riley Wagner Production Stage Manager: Gray St. Burdick Photography: Matt Pilsner
The Costume and Wig teams collaborated to create a world of childlike wonder inspired by dolls, bows, and whimsy.
The wigs were created with the aid of a student assistant using yarn roving, ribbons, horsehair, and millinery wire to create a doll like style for each wigged performer.
This production was double cast as part of Opera at Rutgers' spring programming.
