About George Tsypin Opera Factory: Invisible City
Product Description Based in New York City—in the grit, steel girders, and graffiti of the metropolis—George Tsypin's Opera Factory creates visions of towering gods, underwater kingdoms, constructivist reveries, skyscraping towers, and earth-bound angels. Tsypin's award-winning designs are produced around the world. This lavishly illustrated monograph introduces Tsypin's designs for twenty productions—including the musicals Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and The Little Mermaid; operas Oedipus Rex and the Ring Cycle; the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi; Cirque du Soleil's Oasis; and the Seaglass Carousel in Battery Park. Tsypin uses each project as a starting point for meditations on creativity and the fleeting nature of performance that will rivet designers, artists, performers, and anyone interested in the creative process. Review "Mr. Tsypin's most enduring source of inspiration is New York, and this absorbing coffee-table book, perched at the intersection of opera and architecture, captures a rich dialogue between the city's brash angularity and the multifaceted human experiences it shelters." -New York Times About the Author George Tsypin was born in Kazakhstan.
