It91裸聊视频檚 possible that no woman in Salmon Arm has more clothes in her house than Keren Huyter. On Facebook she posted a picture that shows jam-packed racks surrounded by boxes overflowing with shoes and hats, large plastic bags squeezed together, and even the window sill is piled high with items. Walking space is at a minimum.

But none of it is hers. As costume designer for Opera Kelowna, Huyter is in charge of costumes for 57 people for Puccini91裸聊视频檚 opera, La Boheme.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 very crowded in here. I do have quite the challenge,91裸聊视频� says Huyter, 91裸聊视频渏ust the sheer amount of people, and the main characters are coming from all over the globe.91裸聊视频�

In fact, one of the actors sent his measurement chart back to her in German.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 pretty good at puzzles, I figured it out,91裸聊视频� she says laughing.

The Opera Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 version is set in the 1920s, so Huyter spent a lot of time scouring local shops for vintage pieces as well as sewing costumes for the main characters.

91裸聊视频淪ome (characters) just need old pea-coats. I found some at the NOSBIS garage sale. The story takes place in the winter so everyone has coats and hats on. I was at the Shuswap Theatre, upstairs at Church91裸聊视频檚 Thrift Store, and I got a bunch at the Mental Health Thrift Store. I scored pretty good, and I had my own stash.91裸聊视频�

This is Huyter91裸聊视频檚 second year with Opera Kelowna. Last year she did costumers for their production of The Magic Flute.

91裸聊视频淚t was all from scratch, and it was more fairy tale so it was more challenging because I had to create.91裸聊视频�

This year included a lot of shopping but she did get to make the main characters91裸聊视频� outfits.

91裸聊视频淚 often work until two in the morning. I do most of my work between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. That91裸聊视频檚 when people are leaving me alone, I91裸聊视频檓 uninterrupted. I love being interrupted but that doesn91裸聊视频檛 bode well for getting work done.91裸聊视频�

Huyter loves the challenge of creating unique costumes.

91裸聊视频淭he females need to look extra special and the toy seller is a Willy Wonky type.91裸聊视频�

Huyter still has lots of work to do but the costume fitting went perfectly, from the lead characters to the 19 children in the chorus. Now with the fittings done, it91裸聊视频檚 dress rehearsal time and then, the big night.

91裸聊视频淒ress rehearsals make me nervous but on opening night I91裸聊视频檓 fine.91裸聊视频�

She will be there in case any emergency repairs are needed but she knows that the costumes aren91裸聊视频檛 going to be that comfortable.

91裸聊视频淭he action takes place in winter. They are onstage under lighting. The main characters get a bit of reprieve because they91裸聊视频檙e supposed to be indoors and don91裸聊视频檛 have to wear coats. The chorus members are going to cook. I don91裸聊视频檛 know if they know that yet.91裸聊视频�
