Favourite colour: blue. Pretty much every article of clothing I own that isn't theatre blacks for backstage is either blue or horizontal stripes or both

Currently reading: Alice Through the Looking Glass, because I re-read Wonderland when we were doing the opera

Last song: Two Worlds (Ebn-Hakia's aria from Iolanta). I have to say that Fedora largely left me cold, but Iolanta is Tchaikovsky and therefore has some bops

Last series: just binged Yonderland again, also showed my assistant Detectorists when she came to stay with me while we were doing alterations

Sweet, savoury or spicy? Would have to go with savoury. There are so many sweets and cakes around backstage, which is very nice and all but does make you rather long for a toastie

Currently working on: Iolanta, the last of the three operas I have been working on as Costume Supervisor this summer. It's been bloody hard work but the end is now in sight, and honestly this one is about a hundred times easier than the other two for various reasons. Assorted pics of Fedora and Alice in Wonderland (by Laima Arlauskaite) below since we haven't had the photos from the Iolanta dress rehearsal through yet.

#I made those flower heads and they took blinkin' ages #the designer really loved them though and has taken them to hopefully get them into her next panto #this post is very opera-heavy which really is not usually the case #also I've noticed everything is re-reading or re-watching #maybe it's time for some new stuff #though also actually this has been a very gruelling process and maybe it's ok to do comforting and familiar things #things I have made #theatre #costume #sewing #arts & crafts #opera
