Model for Act III. Leaves in gold silk velvet on black voile.
By far the best of Scottish Opera’s touring productions in recent years. Dody Nash’s set proves to be an elegant way of breaking up the stage with minimal fuss.
**** The Guardian, Critic’s Choice
The best Merry Widow I’ve seen. Dody Nash’s curtain-set invites the imagination to roam
***** The Financial Times
Ingenious… Locations, from the Pontevedrian embassy to Hanna Glawari’s house, the pavilion of seduction in act two, and a ballroom, equipped with a re-creation of Maxim’s, grisettes and all, are stunningly evoked by the use of swishy translucent curtains and wonderfully atmospheric lighting. Costuming is lavish and gloriously coloured, and visually it’s a treat.
