Joseph lazarus
Joseph Lazarus joined the Boheme Opera NJ production staff as lighting designer in 2022 and has designed its three latest main stage productions: Rigoletto, Hansel and Gretel and Madama Butterfly. Opera has always been one of his favorite production styles. In his 50+ year career in the arts, there really isn’t a type of design that has not crossed his path. He has designed all types of theater: drama, comedy, musicals, revues, magic, ballet, opera, concerts and headliner entertainment. For 35 years, he was production designer for The Showroom at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino, designing over 1,000 shows of all shapes and sizes. He is still enjoying a television design career for PBS as a freelance designer. He designed all the My Music Series specials – some 25 in all.
