Donna Vargas

This effect is only enhanced by Maria Björnson's set and costume design. The characters wear eighteenth-century clothing and move about in an extremely minimal set that looks like a gently curved, old wall made of tile with a statue of a Madonna embedded in the upper left-hand corner. The wall rotates for various scenes, sometimes revealing a staircase (and ultimately, the interior of the Don's palace), and Paul Pyant's stark but effective lighting tends to emphasize what the set design lacks as much as it illuminates what little there is.
