Markgräfliches Opernhaus Bayreuth
Costume designer:
Dorothea Nicolai
Project:
Costume for "Earth"
Embroidery type:
Shading, metallic embroidery, appliqué work
As the great restoration of the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth was nearing its end, the Bavarian Administration of Palaces, Gardens and Lakes commissioned a team of costume makers and specialists, to recreate symbolic allegorical costumes for the opera house under the direction of costume maker Dorothea Nicolai. Based on original 18th-century designs, two costumes were built for the exquisite Baroque court theatre. The costumes will be presented on the stage of the museum, to give guests an impression of what costumes might have looked like at the time of the opening of the opera house.
