For several seasons I painted sets for the Haymarket Opera Company of Chicago's historically informed productions of Baroque operas—Charpentier's Orphée, Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, Telemann's Pimpinone, Charpentier's Actéeon. It was such a pleasure to collaborate with a talented team of musicians, stage directors, and costume designers. My sets, painted on rotating periaktoi (which the Roman writer Vitruvius describes), evoked the period character of each opera.
