Linda Di Chamounix
In mid-18th century Savoy, Antonio, a tenant farmer, is in financial difficulties, and the Marquis, whose sister is his landlord, has offered help with negotiations. The Marquis's motive, however, is that he lusts after Antonio's daughter Linda. The girl is in love with Carlo, a penniless artist, not knowing that he is himself titled, and that his mother is that same landlord.
Role:
For the Opera Linda Di Chamounix I took on the role as Draper. As the Draper I lead a team of 6 Stitchers and a First hand in creating 40 Historical aprons for the entirety of the cast.
We took reclaimed and donated Sari fabric and created varying patterns to give the look of a provincial village in the Italian countryside. Which is seen best in this close up of the lead actress.
For these white aprons we used white linen fabric and a technique called insertion lace, to create historical versions of wedding aprons used in the Italian countryside.
