Phantom
MainStage Irving Las Colinas, Irving, Texas
"Scenes of the exterior and interior of the Opera House, the Phantom’s cave, the tunnels and waterways in the catacombs, multiple moving images on the same surface, projections that enveloped the stage to make it look larger - all of these tricks set the atmosphere for each scene and allowed us to instinctively identify with a location. Images started small and grew to fill the space, making the stage area pulsate with the action and the music. All of this was coordinated with Nance’s lighting in a kind of dance. As a techie at heart, the whole process fascinated me."
"MainStage Irving-Los Colinas’ Phantom is tremendous entertainment."
Charlie Bowles, Associate Critic for John Garcia's THE COLUMN
"WELCOME to the future of 21st century of SCENIC DESIGN."
Alexandra Bonifield, Critical Rant & Rave
"...the production uses projections brilliantly."
