Pocket Opera has been around for 50 years, presenting wonderful opera, translated into English by Donald Pippin, on a smaller stage but with just the same music and heart. I was lucky enough to design costumes for I Pagliacci both in 2015 and 2016.
Set in the 1930's Italian countryside, it starred J. Raymond Meyers, Alexandra Sessler, Ben Brady, Daniel Yoder, Jonathan Smucker / Jacob Thompson, and ensemble members Michael Mendelsohn, Elana Cohen, Liesl McPherrin, Don Hoffman, Brian Chu, Elizabeth Finkler, Reid Delahunt, Erin Silgangil, Kirthi Shankar, Julia Strawn, Lucy Ugar.
