Osman Sengezer: 46 Years of Decor and Costume | Musical

Musicals produced at the State Opera and Ballet and at private theatres for which Sengezer prepared the costumes and decor were seen in many performances on tour both at home and abroad. In 1970 extracts from the musicals "Yaygara 70" and "Uyy Balon Dunya", which he worked on in partnership with the Dormen Theatre, were combined and produced under the title "A Tale of Istanbul". This was presented at the World Theatre Season in London and ran for a week. These three musicals were the last for which Cemal Resit Rey wrote the music.
