Minnesota Opera, renowned for pushing the envelope in today’s opera scene, has been collaborating with visual artists in the Twin Cities to encourage new interpretations of the art form we love so dearly. We invited comic artists to the dress rehearsal of Madame Butterfly to sketch their impressions. It is often very difficult to accurately render live-action scenes because of constant motion and visual complexity, but we have some amazingly talented artists in the Twin Cities. Here are some of the highlights. Enjoy, and thanks to our amazingly talented group of comic artists from the Black Hat Collective!
