"The mostly mossy green set with giant handmade flowers and craftily constructed ferns of all shapes and sizes was a take on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream woodland reverie."
"In the second act, globe-like lights resembling the moon, repurposed from PSU's The Magic Flute, and handheld 'candles' magically lit up the stage."
"Filling out the stage and sets was a charming ragtag ensemble of such half-human, half-animal characters as a peacock, a hedgehog, a skunk, a goat, a butterfly, a bird, a rabbit, flower fairies, a moss fairy, a tree fairy and a deer."
Portland State University's production of Così fan tutte is characterized by its ambitious and creative staging, featuring elaborate sets and costumes. The production, described as 'grand opera on a budget,' showcases student talent, although the singing is not always perfect. The set design includes a lush, green woodland theme inspired by A Midsummer Night's Dream, with repurposed elements from previous productions. A diverse ensemble of characters adds charm and complexity to the performance, which runs for three hours.
