About

Set design today transcends the traditional boundaries between performing and visual arts, architecture, literature, fashion, film, music, design and photography. Through exploring the various sub-areas of art, technology and new media across the broad field of performing arts, students will learn to articulate themselves competently, artistically and in an interdisciplinary manner.

    Vincenzo Bellini: I Capuleti e i Montecchi 

    The performance of Vincenzo Bellini's opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi delivered a powerful reinterpretation of the masterpiece. Directed by Alexander von Pfeil, the production centred on the relentless feud between two rival clans and the profound despair of its victims. This staging transcended specific eras, placing the story in a universal, timeless setting that brought Bellini's dark vision of love and war to the stage with harrowing clarity.
