Viktor & Rolf add Sparkle to the opera "Der Freischütz" 2009

“Der Freischütz” opera staged by Robert Wilson and costumes by V&R in collaboration with SWAROVSKI

Nadja Swarovski, Vice President of International Communications - Swarovski Crystal Business explains – “Following Swarovski’s long standing relationship with fashion designers Viktor & Rolf  through past innovative collaborations, the „Freischutz“ Opera directed by Robert Wilson is a wonderful opportunity to synergise our efforts in fashion and stage, and to present a new approach for crystal in costumes designed by the Dutch fashion duo“.

“We love Robert Wilson’s spectacular use of light as a sculptural element which is why we thought of working with CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements; so that we can catch that light and play with Robert’s concept. The crystals transform the ambience and create a myriad of special light effects in one single look. The costumes portray fantasy and create a fairytale moment as if sprinkled by fairy dust.”
