Title
Opera in Focus
Description
William B. Fosser's Puppet Production Opera in Focus presents fully staged scenes from well known operas in performances that run about one hour in length. Each performance may offer between three and five scenes, depending on the length of the individual scene. A narration of the action by the well known actor Tony Mockus precedes each scene. A demonstration of the operation of the puppets and a tour of the highly technical backstage area follows each performance.
The puppets are manipulated from below the stage floor and are capable of very life-like action and dramatic gestures for which opera singers are so famous.
All of the puppets are costumed by master puppeteer and co-producer Paul Guerra. Will Harder creates rear screen projections and manipulates our conductor "Tosci."
