Setting the stage: The enduring legacy of Max Röthlisberger
When IU Opera Theater kicks off its 2007-2008 season on Sept. 21, with Giuseppe Verdi's ever-popular Rigoletto, few opera-goers sitting in the Musical Arts Center may realize that the opera's lavish set was built 33 years ago and is part of the oeuvre of legendary set designer Max Röthlisberger. Swiss-born Röthlisberger had acted, directed and designed sets in Europe's leading opera houses for more than 40 years and was in his 60s when he was recruited to IU by former School of Music Dean Wilfred Bain in 1973. Rigoletto's set was first used in 1974 and is being used for the last time for this season's production, which runs at 8 p.m. Sept. 21-22 and 28-29 in the MAC.
