David Bowie at the Opera
About:
After the success of my previous collaboration with the Israeli Opera, I’m returning to the opera house, this time, to celebrate none other than David Bowie.
Bowie was not only a revolutionary musician, actor, producer, and even occasional painter, but also a fashion legend. In a one-night-only event at the Israeli Opera, we’ll celebrate the life and legacy of one of fashion’s greatest icons. This lecture reveals the meticulous detail with which he created his unforgettable performances, explores the characters and costumes that broke conventions and shaped culture, and examines why Bowie became a constant source of inspiration for designers such as Japan’s Kansai Yamamoto and Britain’s Alexander McQueen.
Through live performances by soloists from the Israeli Opera, complete with makeup, hair, and costume, we’ll journey through the key chapters of his life and dive deep into his unique style and groundbreaking vision of fashion, gender, and the future.
