Clothes Call
Have you ever wanted to be someone else for a day? A queen, an angel of death, a gypsy…well my wife Kathryn gets to do just that while performing this season with Deutsche Oper Berlin. I still can’t figure out how she keeps all of the different characters straight in her head. She has about a dozen performances under her belt this season thus far, so I thought it was a good time to show off the many costumes of Kathryn Lewek — from the cool to the unusual, and the unusually cool — this opera company does it all.

And of course there’s the costume from Der Rosenkavalier. Unfortunately Noir did not have a costume, though he was still in character I can assure you.
