Sydney Dufka
Costume Designer
“Wonderfully evocative costumes designed by Sydney Dufka accented the production. Candy-colored outfits, including bouffant 17th century hairdos, proclaimed the carefree nature of Acis and Galatea. Polyphemus, by contrast, cast a very serious demeanor in all-black clothing, topped by a powdery-white wig, which he tore off and cast aside in frustration at the end of the story. He also didn’t wear an eye patch or anything that indicated him as a cyclops. Instead, he was portrayed as a regular human being, albeit one with an unhealthy obsession.” - James Bash for Opera Canada
