SCENIC DESIGN FOR THE OPERA - THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR

Abstract

This thesis serves as a documentation of the scenic design process for Otto Nicolai's Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor (Nicolai 1849), which was produced by the School of Music at the University of Maryland—College Park.The production process and scenic design documentation for this performance are included in this thesis. The basis for this scenic design is these documents. Every component served as a means of conveying technical requirements and design concepts to the director, other designers, and artisans working on the project. A final reflection of the scenic design and production process is included, along with research photos, set sketches and renderings, photographs of ¼" scale models, drafting plates, paint elevations, a props book, and a props list that lists furniture and hand props.
