French designer Pierre Yovanovitch was asked by acclaimed director Vincent Huguet to create a new opera set for the opera Rigoletto at the Theater Basel in Switzerland. The French designer made his operatic debut and created a movable stage set with his signature aesthetic.

法国设计师Pierre Yovanovitch受著名导演Vincent Huguet的邀请，为位于瑞士的巴塞尔剧院的歌剧Rigoletto创作全新的歌剧布景，这位法国设计师首次亮相歌剧，并以他的标志性审美创造了一个可移动的舞台布景。

Pierre Yovanovitch has created a vibrant set that captures and amplifies the growing emotion, tension, and drama of the opera. A longtime opera lover, this project is the realization of a lifelong dream for Pierre Yovanovitch, whose practice focuses on residential and furniture design. Known for his mastery of volume, proportion, and light, Pierre Yovanovitch's couture aesthetic of understated opulence and elegant simplicity is effortlessly in tune with the themes of power, innocence, duty, and vengeance of the opera Rigoletto. Rigoletto's themes of power, innocence, duty and revenge blend effortlessly.

Pierre Yovanovitch创造了一个充满活力的布景，捕捉并放大了歌剧中不断增加的情感、紧张、剧情。作为一个长期的歌剧爱好者，这个项目是Pierre Yovanovitch一生梦想的实现，他的实践主要集中在住宅和家具设计上。Pierre Yovanovitch以对体积、比例和光线的精通著称，低调华丽和优雅简约的高级时装美学与歌剧Rigoletto当中的权力、天真、责任和复仇的主题毫不费力地融合在一起。

Rigoletto tells the story of a jester at the court of the Duke of Mantua, whose world comes crashing down when his innocent daughter Gilda attracts the Duke's attention. Inspired by this tale of revenge, innocence, and power, Pierre Yovanovitch conceived a moveable design scheme that includes three curved walls nested within another.

Rigoletto讲述了曼图亚公爵宫廷里的一个小丑的故事，当他无辜的女儿吉尔达吸引了公爵的注意时，他的世界就崩溃了。受到这个关于复仇、天真和权力的故事的启发，Pierre Yovanovitch构思了一个可移动的设计方案，包括三面嵌套在另一面内的弧形墙。

Conducted by Michele Spotti and featuring Swiss soprano Regula Mühlemann as Gilda, the opera runs through June 21, 2023, giving opera and design lovers plenty of time to experience Pierre Yovanovitch's operatic creations.

该歌剧由Michele Spotti指挥，瑞士女高音Regula Mühlemann饰演Gilda，演出将持续到2023年6月21日，让歌剧和设计爱好者有充足的时间体验Pierre Yovanovitch的歌剧创作。

Pierre Yovanovitch's moveable design scheme has a modern aesthetic with a sensual timelessness, incorporating his signature curved staircase spanning the entire width of the stage, distinctive colors, and architectural angles into a bold and simple set that unfolds the drama's complex psychological storyline. Their movement serves to frame the characters and draw attention to shifts in behavior throughout the show. As the story unfolds, they merge into a tighter and tighter circle to enhance the psychological sense of drama. Each wall within the curved stage is painted bright red on the inside and blue on the outside, and can rotate 360 degrees around a circular track, punctuated by a rectangular doorway in the center.

Pierre Yovanovitch的可移动设计方案具有现代美学，并拥有感性的永恒，他将标志性的横跨整个舞台宽度的弧形楼梯、独特的色彩和建筑角度融入到大胆而简单的布景中，以展开戏剧复杂的心理故事情节。它们的运动起到了框住人物的作用，并引起人们对整个演出中行为转变的注意。随着故事的展开，它们合拢成一个越来越紧密的圆，以加强心理上的戏剧感。弧形舞台内的每面墙内侧涂成鲜红色，外侧涂成蓝色，可以围绕一个圆形轨道360度旋转，中间有一个长方形的门洞作为点缀。

Also visible in the background is a massive white curved staircase - Pierre Yovanovitch's signature design style seems to span the width of the opera house - and hanging from the ceiling is a minimalist chandelier made up of three concentric halos. The set design evokes the swooping architectural curves of Richard Serra's monumental sculpture and its distorting effect on the audience's perception, in this case accentuated by the set's movable design. By making the installation mobile, Pierre Yovanovitch also makes each scene offer the audience a different perspective, as do the colors he has chosen for the curved walls, which alternate between white, blue, and red in an evocative way, and draw attention to the shifts in behavior that occur throughout the performance.

在背景中，还可以看到一个巨大的白色弧形楼梯 —— Pierre Yovanovitch的标志性设计风格似乎横跨歌剧院的宽度，而悬挂在天花板上的是一盏极简主义的枝形吊灯，由三个同心光环组成。布景设计让人联想到Richard Serra不朽雕塑的俯冲建筑曲线，以及其对观众感知的扭曲效果，在这种情况下，布景的可移动设计更显突出。通过使装置移动，Pierre Yovanovitch还使每个场景为观众提供了不同的视角，正如他为弯曲的墙壁选择的颜色一样，在白色、蓝色和红色之间交替出现的彩色墙面令人回味无穷，并使人们注意到整个演出中的行为转变。

Pierre Yovanovitch also customized the furniture, which included curved combination sofas, sofa beds, and round tables with cylindrical bases surrounded by similarly shaped stools. His unique design language shines through all of these pieces, which are simple, perfectly proportioned and boldly colored. Combined with expressionist lighting design, these sets captivate the viewer despite their austere design. At the same time, as Pierre Yovanovitch says, the minimalist set design allows the souls of the characters to take up as much space as possible.

Pierre Yovanovitch还定制了家具，包括弧形组合沙发、沙发床和带圆柱形底座的圆形桌子，周围环绕着形状相似的凳子。他独特的设计语言闪耀在所有这些作品中，这些作品简单、比例完美、色彩大胆。与表现主义的灯光设计相结合，这些布景尽管设计朴素，但却吸引了观众。同时，正如Pierre Yovanovitch所说，极简的的布景设计让人物的灵魂占据了尽可能多的空间。
