Of
Mice and Men - Florida Grand Opera, 1986
This
production was a wonderful collaboration between Set Designer Bobby
O’Hearn, Costume Designer Susanne Mess, Director/Composer Carlisle Floyd,
and myself. It was produced on a relatively small budget as part of the New World Festival
of the Arts. The theatrical realistic sets were ideal for this moving
piece. I added subtle atmospheric changes to support the
dramatic moments and rhythm of the opera.
