Dallas-based artists Frances Bagley and Tom Orr were commissioned by the Dallas Opera to create the sets and costumes for the Dallas premiere of Verdi’s Nabucco in 2006 (scroll through this link for info and to view images from the blog). Bagley and Orr created a gallery-scaled installation based on that production for the Museum’s current special exhibition Performance/Art, on view through March 21, 2010. Frances Bagley received her M.F.A. from the University of North Texas and an M.A. and B.F.A from Arizona State University. Her work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions and is included in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., among many other private, public and corporate collections. A native of Dallas, Tom Orr holds a B.F.A in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design. Orr has been commissioned for a number of public art projects, including Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport’s Terminal D and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Plano Station. His work is included in private collections throughout Texas, the U.S. and abroad.
