The preeminent composer, Philip Glass, wanted to market eight of his operas to the approximately 2,000 opera companies worldwide – no small task! I proposed that, like his groundbreaking work, his literature should have a look and attitude unlike any other literature of its kind.

In creating a book that would convey the uniqueness of these extraordinary productions, I collected all available imagery, edited it, and chose photos that contained the dramatic essence of each work. Each was shifted to a striking and unusual range of color, producing an effect of unparalleled sumptuousness. Sidney Rappaport, the legendary fine art printer, took this project on with zeal, creating one of the outstanding works of his (and my) career.

The new logo refers to the musical notation for a repeating pattern of notes.
