David Martin Jacques - Lighting Designer
Die Frau Ohne Schatten, Lyric Opera of Chicago, 2007
FORTHCOMING PRODUCTIONS:
Otello, Welsh National Opera, September 2008
Lulu, Lyric Opera of Chicago, November 2008
Rusalka, Oslo, Norway, September 2009
"Director Paul Curran and designers Kevin Knight (sets and costumes) and David Martin Jacques (lighting) staged the opera with the same kind of detailed, closed-in naturalism that we saw last season in their superb production of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Knight and Jacques are really a world-beating pair, whose sense of volume and shadow made the stage a resonant space..." - Globe and Mail, Tosca, Canadian Opera Company, 2008
"Paul Curran’s production, Kevin Knight’s designs and David Jacques’ lighting were constantly inventive and astonishing." - Opera Today, Die Frau Ohne Schatten, Lyric Opera of Chicago, 2007
"Jacques' lighting was superb, making pertinent use of shadow-form for everyone but the titular heroine." - Opera News, Die Frau Ohne Shatten, Lyric Opera of Chicago, 2007
"Led by the British troika of director Paul Curran, designer Kevin Knight and lighting designer David Martin Jacques, all elements of the production combined to produce a vision of overwhelming power." - Opera News, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, Canadian Opera Company, 2007
"Lighting designer David Jacques outdid himself in using lighting to create mood and reflect the necessary shadows. Perhaps most stunning of all was the use of blue silk to recreate the flood called for at the end of the second act." - Opera Online, Die Frau Ohne Shatten, Lyric Opera of Chicago, 2007
“A real and true co-author is David Martin Jacques, creator of a beautifully evocative and magical fairy-tale, full of moving and at times terrifying atmospheres. These beautiful light effects, disquieting and chilling, dense and then less-dense, follow the course of the opera with potent expressive value… visually a fascinating feast for the eyes.” - L’Opera Magazine, Tannhauser, La Scala, 2005
