I have a ton of backlog from entervoid. Cadenza is mine. Everyone else pictured are not. Not sure if their creators all have tumblrs but I’ll edit with tags later if I find them all.
The limelight-loving pair of Madame de Garderobe and Cadenza — she’s a singer, he’s a harpsichordist — needed costumes to match their bold personalities. So Durran looked to classic 18th-century French fashions worn by royal performers and added subtle, enchanting details to their looks which were in keeping with the garb of the other castle denizens. For the outfit Stanley Tucci wears as Cadenza, she says, “we cut up gold lace fabric and appliquéd it on the coat and waistcoat to create the impression of embroidery. It was one of my favorite things in the film’s costumes.”
Audra McDonald’s dress wasn’t as delicate as Stanley Tucci’s outfit. As Madame de Garderobe, the actress wore a gown that reflected the interior’s grandeur and evoked the stately wardrobe she becomes once the witch’s spell is cast. “l really wasn’t prepared for how they would have me mirror [the wardrobe] in human form,” McDonald says. “She’s humongously glorious, and the costume was so big I couldn’t sit down in between takes.”
Whenever rigel feels sad, when someone he cares about give him a hug, it does make him feel better. That’s what he remembers, so he thought that maybe it’ll make cadenza feel even a slight better.
I wanted cadenza and rigel to interact soooooo……. (≧◡≦) just close friends having a convo-
Always amazed over the fact that I can send stick figure references of the pose that I had in mind to @cherrygirl666 and that she can whip up something like THIS Everything about this piece is perfect from the faint blush on Cadenza’s shoulder to the little smile on Muriel’s lips. Thank you so much!
Always a pleasure working with you, I absolutely love doing such soft pieces!!! ❣️
Jeremy Denk is on BBC Radio 3’s The Listening Service. He joins host Tom Service at the Hay Festival for an exploration of the cadenza, with examples from Freddie Mercury, John Coltrane, and Denk’s own Mozart Piano Concertos album with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra—as well a live performance for the show. You can hear it here.
