Tim Yip, best known for his Oscar-winning set and costume design for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” has now lent his aesthetic vision to Wagner’s story.
Because of the war and resulting sanctions, all the sets and costumes needed to be rebuilt Stateside — which allowed the team to make changes. Yip notes that while their approach within the Bolshoi production was “more dramatic,” they aimed to make everything feel a little less fantastical in their recreation for The Met.
Although the story is set in 10th-century Antwerp, Girard moved the production into a conceptual post-apocalyptic setting that verges on sci-fi. The glow of a moon and celestial sky hangs over the stage, visible through a portal in the set that appears to lead upward. “We are building the set to help the singer deliver the sound,” he adds. “We’re promoting atmosphere, but the music leads up everything. You see the colors coming from the music; everything comes back to the music.”
