www.rosco.com: Whether it’s due to budgets or space – every production faces limitations when it comes to the scenery it needs to create. Such was the case for a production of Bizet’s classic opera Carmen at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans. This production featured lavish sets and costumes, but the creative team ran into limitations when it came to the mountainous sets needed for Act 3.

I like this article a lot. It can be hard to tell from a catalog just how the gobo might look like on stage when it is at a distance from the light, so it is nice to read about and see photos of some of Rosco’s recommendations. With our world becoming increasingly digital, it could be nice to see more live photos of looks incorporated into catalogues to have a more accurate understanding of a gobo you have not encountered prior. The combination recommendations reminded me of when Jelly Beans used to have jelly bean recipes for having multiple at a time, and I really appreciated getting to see it. I don’t know that without the name for G231 I would have realized it was realistic stars, so I am also glad that Rosco uses a clear naming system. The final product of these combined looks was quite impressive and I am excited to look into this more.
