Art Works: In this week’s podcast, the spotlight is on legendary stage designer and 2011 NEA Opera Honoree John Conklin. Conklin’s influence on set design is difficult to exaggerate. His set and costume designs have been seen in opera houses, theaters, and ballet companies around the world. Considered a conceptual rather than a literal designer, he’s not interested in creating a static painting to be used as a backdrop.
