Egyptian mummies and Flash Gordon
Now that we were suitably blown away by Cincinnati Opera's "Aida," a newish co-production of the companies of Detroit, Miami and Milwaukee, we can ask about some of the costumes -- what were they thinking?
What's the deal with those ballet dancers (I don't have a photo, but you'll know them when you see them) who were dressed sort of like lost Trekkies? Flash Gordon also comes to mind. I must say, the women were dressed divinely, but Radames had to wear somewhat frumpy attire. As for the chorus, shown here with Lisa Daltirus (Aida) and Irina Mishura (Amneris), we love the mummy look.
What was your favorite costume?
