“Designer Lynly Saunders delivers. She’s costumed the two lead female roles, a pair of young sisters, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, in palest of pistachio green and cherry blossom pink, all ruffles and lace, two pictures of virtuous pulchritude. Some scenes later, and having tasted the headiness of desire, they reappear in drenched gold-green (Fiordiligi) and shocking magenta-pink (Dorabella). One wants to lick the creampuff skirts of Act I and dive into the rich silk gorgeousness in Act II. The girls’ male counterparts look eager to do the same.

Saunders refreshes Ferrando and Guglielmo, the young ladies’ suitors, transforming from brightly colored silly nutcracker soldiers, be-ribboned, sashed, and all saber-rattling to hirsute Albanian gypsies, their locks flowing and their garments richly embroidered.

“Kudos also to Costume Designer Lynly A. Saunders for bright, colorful, lovely costumes, and especially for the disguises for Despina, which helped Ms. Martínez make those scenes laugh out loud funny.”

“Costume Designer Lynly A. Saunders deserves tremendous praise for her period costumes, and the particular details they included, most notably the miniatures Fiordiligi and Dorabella wear and the women's use of black veils and laces to indicate their dramatic preemptive mourning.”
