Madame Butterfly Afterparty

Dan Nailen at Salt Lake Magazine wrote up a blog about Vivace’s Madame Butterfly after party that included a video from last weekend’s costume showcase. You can watch the video here: Madame Butterfly costume showcase.

In case you haven’t been following the blog, Jen Jenkins and Melonie Mortensen (two of Utah Opera’s up-and-coming designers) put together some costumes that were shown off last Saturday night at the Madame Butterfly cast party. I was way impressed with what they were able to pull off - I can hardly match my clothes, much less design costumes for an opera.During the showcase they displayed pictures from the creative process on the wall. If you missed it then, Jen forwarded me a link to a place you can look at them online: Jen’s Pagliacci Showcase.
