The playful combination of lushly draped Galactica and golden LurexVoile 100 Crunch curtains determines the glamourous atmosphere of the entire opera piece. Aria after aria, the striking backdrop enhances the dynamics between the main characters. Impossible romance, deceit and defeat. The lightweight stage fabrics easily adapt between the acts, following the rushing rhythm of the play.
