Using the rep plot left over from Little Women the Musical, the Baylor School of Music performed its opera on the March house set. I made some slight adjustments to the plot and had a wonderful time designing my first opera. Notes on Viardot, functioning more like a memory play, allowed for some creative choices with the color distinction between the present and the past of Viardot’s memories.
