Karel Appel’s opera sets in Cobra Museum
At the invitation of Pierre Audi, director of Dutch National Opera, Karel Appel (1921-2006) designed the sets for two operas, Die Zauberflöte and Noach, in 1994 and 1995. The Cobra Museum of Modern Art is collaborating with Dutch National Opera in retrieving the sets from storage and putting them in the spotlights again.
