MATTHEW MARSHALL LIGHTING DESIGN

“This futuristic production is full of gorgeous light from designer Matthew Marshall”

Peter McCallum, smh.com.au

​

“Together with Anita Yavich’s inventive costuming, Matthew Marshall’s brilliant lighting, and some gorgeous puppetry, including a magical-looking phoenix for Brünnhilde’s steed Grane, the production immerses you in Wagner’s epic tale.”

Jo Litson, limelight-arts.com.au

​

“This magical imagery, combined with Wagner’s lush musical lyricism, greatly enhanced the live theatre experience. Matthew Marshall lit the whole scene brilliantly, especially the glittering gold with its ghostly aura.”

Susannah Conway, artshub.com.au

“Scene 1 is thoroughly successful: Leigh Sachwitz and flora&faunavisions offer us digital waves enlivened with bursts of phosphorescence as the backdrop for the action at the bottom of the Rhine, which takes place around a large piece of coral, beautifully lit by Matthew Marshall.”

David Larkin, bachtrack.com

​

“The Berlin-based digital design team, ‘flora&faunavisions’, consisting of Leigh Sachwitz, Sebastian Grebing, Milena Mayer, and Antonia Böhme, are complemented by associate set designer Maruti Evans, costumes by Anita Yavich, lighting by Matthew Marshall, and choreography by Akasia Ruthy Inchaustegui. This outstanding creative team restores one’s faith in the innovative use of current technology that respects and enhances the storytelling of Das Rheingold, and that whets the appetite for the unfurling of the rest of the Ring”
