Frida Parmeggiani

From 1978 to 2008, Frida Parmeggiani was Europe's most sought-after costume designer. She worked with such legendary producers as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Samuel Beckett and André Heller. In 1979, she did the designs for Wagner's Lohengrin in Bayreuth. For Salzburg Festival, she designed striking costumes for Expecta-tions/Bluebeard's Castle, Pelléas et Melisande, Mitridate and Danton's Death. She also outfitted Madame Butterfly in 1993 in Paris and Lohengrin in New York in 1998. For Wagner's entire four-part opera cycle, she designed the costumes for the performances at the Opernhaus Zürich from 2000 to 2008 and at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris in 2005. From 1987 on, Parmeggiani almost exclusively designed costumes for the productions of American theatre magician Robert Wilson.
