...thirty inches of zipper. “Usually, I have an idea before I buy the fabric,” says Baird, as she browses determinedly through the fabric aisles. Finally, she selects a stretchy red-nutmeg fabric shimmering with interwoven threads of gold, along with a bluish-black jersey. She adds in two spools of thread and some crocheted decorative golden brown lace. Grand total: 24 dollars exactly. At 1:30 p.m. the next day, Baird has magically transformed the materials into a form-fitting, golden dress. She works in The Vestis Council’s SOCH space...
...conductor of the BCO, who introduced California-born soprano Wendy Bryn Harmer to conclude the first half of the concert with the prelude and “Liebestod” from “Tristan and Isolde.” Garbed in a floor-length dress of dull bluish gray, Harmer took a seat in the back of the orchestra as she waited for her entrance.

Then there are the marketing tie-ins, which reap extra cash and free promotion...

The use of lighting is particularly effective in this number, accentuating the dancers’ expressions and helping to clarify the subtle shifts between sentiments. In one especially memorable section, the dancers, cast in a bluish light, simulate swimming motions in the air. The only disappointment of the work is not in the dancing, but in the singing. The live duet between soprano Sandra Patrikalakis and contralto Susan Larson often detracts from the beauty of the choreography; overall, however, the piece is effective. The ending is particularly...
