 “WHEN I GO TO THE OPERA, I WANT TO HAVE
SOMETHING TO LOOK AT.” – DAVID HOCKNEY. Known
as a brilliant colorist, British-born David Hockney
has produced stage designs and costumes for 11
operas. THE COLORS OF MUSIC follows the artist’s
creative process and includes sequences from The
Rake’s Progress, The Magic Flute, Parade, Le Sacre
Du Printemps, Tristan and Isolde, Turandot and Die
Frau Ohne Schatten. Dressed in his signature
colors (aquamarine, yellow, robin’s egg blue),
Hockney displays humor, compassion and candor
(he was losing his hearing throughout the years of
filming). The directors’ exquisite sensitivity to both
the look and sound of these operas creates nothing
less than a banquet for the senses.
