If you love period costume, click over to Fashion is My Muse to view Richard Hudson's costume sketches for our upcoming Death in Venice. The opera is set at the end of the Edwardian era, and the broad hat brims, high collars, and bouffant sleeves characteristic of women's fashions from the period are in evidence, particularly in the first "Hotel Guest" image. For the men, look for curled mustaches, three-piece suits (which in the period were taking over from the frock coat), and sharply creased pants (the trouser press had only been recently invented).
