Thierry Bosquet

Among the Belgian designer’s recent productions is Ruslan and Lyudmila at St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre. Bosquet’s Rosenkavalier production was created for San Francisco Opera, where his credits since 1990 include The Merry Widow (DVD), Tosca (based on the original 1932 design that opened San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House), Capriccio, Ruslan and Lyudmila (originally designed by Alexander Golovin and Konstantin Korovin for the 1904 Glinka Centennial and realized by Bosquet), Don Giovanni, Pelléas et Mélisande, and Louise. Bosquet has created the sets and costumes for more than 75 operas and ballets at Brussels’s Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. He has also designed the sets and costumes for more than 50 operas, ballets and dramas produced in France, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, South America, Australia and the United States. His repertoire has been highly diverse, ranging from Grétry’s rarely heard Zémire et Azor for the 30th Festival delle Nazioni in Città di Castello (Umbria, Italy) to The Magic Flute, Werther, The Mikado, and La traviata for New York City Opera, The Merry Widow at Houston Grand Opera, Rigoletto and Otello at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie in Liège, La belle Hélène for the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto, and Capriccio in Washington, D.C.
