Lecture & Set Tour: The Art of Soft Scenery
Friday, August 29 at 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Discover the fascinating history behind the Tosca set which is THE LAST example of a “soft scenery” set in use since its creation in Italy in the 1950s, learn about the art of creating soft scenery, and have an opportunity to go on stage to see the set up close. The extraordinary artistry on display in Tosca’s hand-painted sets uses trompe l’oeil to create convincing illusions and would be prohibitively expensive to produce today.
Presented by Andrew Beck, Set Backdrops & Soft Goods Painter
5 pm (Doors open at 4:30 pm). Lobby and stage, Centennial Concert Hall.
