Der Rosenkavalier is a comic opera split into 3 acts by Richard Strauss. With love and lust, culture and crudity, disguise and deceit, masters and servants, the opera is based on the aristocratic intrigues with the Viennese celebration of the extravagant lifestyle.

My role was to style women and children hair and wigs.

I created looks with hair extensions (implementing them with wire to create weird and whacky styles!).

I prepared hair and applied wig caps.

I applied period, basic and expressionistic makeup and performed touch-ups on side stages.
