Concept

​

My Design for Peter Grimes is set in the Caribbean, specifically South America. I looked into modern day Pirates and Sea-related Myths and had it so that the children of the Opera were angels, souls that can be seen wondering around the Bio-luminescent shoreline. And Grimes, something of a dark oppressor.

This mystic conceptual aesthetic gave this Opera something to marvel over and behold.
