The Marriage of Figaro - Conceptual Project

The Marriage of Figaro

Composer - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Librettist - Lorenzo Da Ponte

A conceptual design project with a setting of Regency-era France.

Exploring the Setting

Exploring the architecture, interiors and paintings of the era to give context for my design process.

Researching the Fashions

Initial Design Ideas

Exploring character and costume shaping through sketches.

Developing the Designs for Countess Rosina Almaviva

Out of the characters, I chose the Countess to develop and try out different ideas, exploring how different garment features and colours worked with the character. The final design was developed into a realised costume.
