COSTUME MENS CHORUS (»OTELLO« - GIUSEPPE VERDI)
Director: Christine Mielitz
Premiere: October 25, 2006
Costume Designer: Christian Floeren
Size: EU 50*
»New wars are always necessary to defend property, and to conquer new riches and lands. Without these struggles, the glamor and power of the European metropolis Venice threatens to be extinguished.« This is how director Christine Mielitz describes the political starting point of Verdi's Otello, an opera that she stages in mostly dark colors. The belligerent and destructive world of men acts like in the boxing ring: only victory and violence count. The costume colors of the men's chorus are largely based on the darkness of the plot: bitter shades, dark coloring, rough expression. The present costume consists of a jacket, trousers and belt, and was made of cotton and partially processed with paint. It is in very good condition.

*As the costume was made to measure for the singer, it may differ from the standard size. The trousers were tucked narrower on the mannequin and and are actually larger.
