Costume and production designer Carlos Soto's work on Robin Hood appeared this April at the Schauspielhaus Zürich. Unusually, although the designer began his research in November 2024, he did not receive the script until two weeks before previews. Soto, who worked in collaboration with Nina Mada, a Zurich-based designer who usually works in film, said he had been “Hastily refining ideas as the workshops build, which is a fun process, very different from my usual work in opera. Improvising as things come together is somehow a wholly different zone of the brain.”
