CLIENT:  Opera Australia

In 2015, I played a key role in the site lighting design for AIDA – Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour, directed by Gale Edwards. Working alongside designer Mark Thompson, I crafted the lighting for various site elements, including themed lighting for onsite restaurants, bars, and entrances, as well as illuminating surrounding trees. My design enhanced the immersive experience, aligning with the production’s contemporary and lavish aesthetic.
