This opera production of Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor (The Merry Wives of Windsor) by Otto Nicolai was presented at the Staatsoperette in Dresden, Germany in 2022.
Takis served as Performance Designer, creating costume design and set design for Nicolai’s comic opera based on Shakespeare’s play. Under the direction of Noah Naamat and musical direction by Johannes Pell, the design brought Shakespearean England to life with theatrical wit and visual humor, capturing the opera’s lighthearted spirit and comedic timing.
The Staatsoperette Dresden is one of Germany’s leading operetta houses, with a distinguished history dating back to 1947. This production showcased takis’s skill in designing for the German comic opera tradition, where visual storytelling must balance period authenticity with theatrical playfulness.
