This book examines the life and career of acclaimed designer for
the theatre, Kristian Fredrikson (19402005). Fredrikson worked
across genres including in theatre, dance, opera, and film and
television. Born in Wellington, New Zealand, Fredrikson began his
design career working with asmall, amateur operetta company in
Wellington. He then went on to establish a major, five decade-long
career in Australia, returning to New Zealand on occasions to
design for opera and ballet. During the 1970s Fredrikson worked
extensively with Melbourne Theatre Company where he met the
then-emerging Australian choreographer Graeme Murphy. This was to
be a turning point in his life and in 1979 he made his first work
for Murphys Sydney Dance Company, a mysterious and exotic
Sheherazade. Those years were also when he began an association
with the Australian Opera, which included a production of Lucrezia
Borgia in which Dame Joan Sutherland sang the lead.
