Her Met debut came in 1961, as Leonora...
...subsequent designs, Hockney used diverse sources, balancing eclecticism against hedonism: Tiepolo's punchinello figures and Picasso's own designs for Satie's Parade; the paintings of Dufy and Matisse for the imaginary seaside town of Zanzibar in Poulenc's Les Mamelles de Tirésias; Matisse again for the blazing and mysterious red-and-blue moonlit garden in Ravel's L 'Enfant et les Sortilèges; Chinese vase painting for Stravinsky's Le Rossignol...
