Tim's Thoughts on the Experience

The experience was very good. The energy on stage was easy to understand because they genuine human emotions. This was my first opera and I had fun.

Accepting Fate

Salina's Thoughts on the Experience

The costumes were gorgeous-- my eyes couldn't get enough of them! The singers' voices were powerful and moving. I felt honored to be welcomed as an artist and given the opportunity to try to capture some of Mary Stuart's magnificence!

Lee's Thoughts on the Experience

Is there anything more fun to sketch than Elizabethan garb? Probably not. But there are probably easier things to draw on the fly on a moving target! The hats! The voluminous skits! Those crazy collars! Giant fluffy bloomers! Conveying emotion in body language under all those layers of clothes must be hard on the actors, but they did a great job. Then the task was up to me to draw what the actors put forth.
