Opera Poster Spring 2011

The image for this poster had to do a lot. The opera is actually two separate operas performed one after another as the composer intended. However, the mood of each opera is opposite and the stories do not interrelate. The one connector that I found is love: The Telephone is about a guy trying to ask his gal to marry him, but he has to resort to calling her on the phone since she can't put it down. Cute. The Medium is about a drunk gyspy fortune teller who accidentally shoots her daughter's best friend thinking he's a ghost. He was hiding in a puppet theater trunk thing. The bottom area is for text.
