Osman Sengezer: 46 Years of Decor and Costume |
Opera
became a member of the Ankara State Opera and Ballet Company in 1962 and continued working there until 2005, designing decor and costumes for many performances; his last work being the designs for "Manon Lescaut." Many of the designs he created while working for the Izmir and Istanbul State Opera and Ballet Companies were destroyed during a fire at the Ataturk Cultural Centre (AKM) in 1970. Following the fire, there was an interruption in opera and ballet performances at AKM The fire resulted in a contract for performances with Maksim Gazino. Sengezer changed the interior of the Gazino and etablished a stage there. Thus the Istanbul State Opera and Ballet Company were able to put on performances there during the interim period.
