“I think people have a notion about opera that it is just boring and the fat lady singing, but it is not really quite that. It has lots of wonderful beauty to it—there’s music, visual arts, drama. It encompasses all the art forms in one evening.” - Gina Galati, general director, Winter Opera Saint Louis

Here's something slightly different from what I post here. It's not finished yet. Just drapped on the mannequin so you can have an idea. ☆ Did you know that Brazil has the biggest Japanese and Okinawan colonies in the world? 🇧🇷🇯🇵 Japan and Brazil has a long-term relationship and it was working with kimonos that I first started being obsessed with folk and historical garments at age 16. Now at 36 to be able to work with them again is just amazing. 🙏💖 #kimono #costumedesign #winteropera #madamabutterfly #operacostume #振袖 #furisode #costurahistorica #figurino #historicsewing #figurinista #brazilianbaroness #brazilianhistory (at Winter Opera St. Louis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaPWDuouLbc/?utm_medium=tumblr
