Kevin Steele's 'A Knight for a Knight'

May 13, 2013

Three operas are being produced for the upcoming Santa Barbara Opera 2013-2014 season which kicks off in the fall. Puccini’s Tosca, Menotti’s mid-century The Consul, and Verdi’s Falstaff which features an aging knight, the portly, horny rascal of Windsor, shown in Kevin Steele's final image for the campaign above.

As luck would have it a real knight was Kevin's model-for-a-day for the operatic knight : Sir Richard Aberle. A knight for a knight- Sir Richard Aberle poses as the aging rascal of a knight in Verdi's Falstaff opera.
