"Sarasota Opera on Saturday night unveiled a spectacular new production of a hidden gem with the seldom performed Alfredo Catalani opera “La Wally.”
Scenic designer Steven Kemp and lighting designer Ken Junker recreate the quaint Tirolean village buildings nestled in the Alps. The second act village scene with both church and town square biergarten come alive with colorful traditional dresses and hunting attire designed by Howard Tsvi Kaplan for the chorus villagers. The details in all these designs jump with authenticity."
