The set designer gave me a white backdrop for the first two segments, on which I played with various colors: blue for a comic segment and blue and lavender for sung segments in the cabaret; and lavender for the opera, shading slowly toward blue as the mood saddens. For the musical, the lighting focused on supporting the story, using the standard techniques. Here are a few pictures:
