Step into the enchanting world of stage sets, where imagination and creativity collide to bring stories to life. From Italy to Germany, these captivating illustrations transport us to a realm of theatrical wonder. In Italy, we find ourselves amidst the tragic tale of Desdemona and Othello, as well as the cunning Iago. Giuseppe Verdi's opera Otello (1887) comes alive through an exquisite oleograph that captures the essence of this timeless masterpiece. Moving on to Germany, we are transported to Berlin for a performance of The Magic Flute. Set design unveils the majestic presence of the Queen of the Night, her ethereal beauty casting a spell over all who witness her magnificence. Bayreuth beckons us next with Richard Wagner's epic The Ring of the Nibelungs. A sketch for scenic design reveals the mesmerizing Rhine-daughters in all their aquatic splendor while another set design showcases the awe-inspiring Temple of the Holy Grail from Parsifal's first act. Stepping away from classical works, we delve into Tennessee Williams' evocative plays. His words come alive on stage as vibrant backdrops create an atmospheric backdrop for his characters' emotional journeys. Music takes center stage at Capital Radio Jazz Festival in London (1979), where legendary B. B. King captivates audiences with his soulful melodies. The grandeur of Alexandra Palace serves as a fitting backdrop for this unforgettable performance. Returning to Germany once more, Karl Friedrich Schinkel's illustration transports us deep into The Magic Flute's mystical world. We find ourselves standing before The Temple of Isis and Osiris - an architectural marvel that embodies both mystery and enchantment. The historical allure continues with Mathaus Küsel’s set designs from Il Pomo D'Oro (1668). As we peer into Il Fuoco Eterno (1674), our gaze falls upon Rome's Roman curia, guarded and regal.
