Illustration: René Milot Art Direction: Christopher Milligan Client: Cincinnati Opera

Cincinnati Opera poster: Lucia forced into a loveless marriage to unite two fighting families. She is trapped by this union and sees her real love faint and resort to murder to free herself from this social obligation by murdering her new husband on their wedding night! Even if it is known as the "bloodiest opera" , the client was concerned about too much blood: I had to tame the visual impact of the blood by replacing it with red petals.
