Omar is a special opera for various reasons, but one of the things that stands out the most is the beautiful cast; a rainbow of diversity. Our talented wig artisans took on the incredibly rewarding task of creating wigs of different styles, textures, and colors to make sure that not only do the soloists and chorus members feel comfortable in their respective roles, but that they looked the part and looked good doing it. We went ‘Behind the Styles’ and talked to Head of Wigs at LA Opera, Samantha Wiener, about the Omar wig making process and experience.
