略歴
From Wikipedia
Irene Sharaff (January 23, 1910 - August 10, 1993) was an
American costume designer for stage and screen. Her work earned her five
Academy Awards and a Tony Award.
After working as a fashion illustrator in her youth, Sharaff
turned to set and costume design. Her debut production was the 1931 Broadway
production of Alice in Wonderland, starring Eva Le Gallienne. Her use of silks
from Thailand for The King and I (1951) created a trend in fashion and interior
decoration.
Sharaff's work was featured in the movies West Side Story
(Academy Award, 1961), Cleopatra (Academy Award, 1963), Meet Me in St. Louis,
Hello, Dolly!, Mommie Dearest, The Other Side of Midnight, Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf? (Academy Award, 1966), Guys and Dolls, The Best Years of Our
Lives, The King and I (Academy Award, 1956), An American in Paris (Academy
Award, 1951), Funny Girl and Porgy and Bess.
She also designed sets and costumes for American Ballet
Theatre, the New York City Ballet, and the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and
contributed illustrations to fashion magazine's such as Vogue and Harper's
Bazaar. Among her Broadway design credits are Idiot's Delight, Lady in the
Dark, As Thousands Cheer, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Flower Drum Song, and
Jerome Robbins' Broadway.
The TDF/Irene Sharaff Lifetime Achievement Award was named
for Sharaff. She was its first recipient in 1993. The award is now bestowed
annually to a costume designer who, over the course of his or her career, has
achieved great distinction and mastery of the art in theatre, film, opera or
dance.
Irene Sharaff died in New York City at the age of 83.

Jerome Robbins considered the Paris Opera Ballet as his second home after the New York City Ballet. This production in his honour brings together works displaying the infinite diversity of his sources of inspiration and his genius on stage. Be it in the energy of the large-scale Glass Pieces or the intimate sweetness of Afternoon of a Faun and A Suite of Dances, there emerges that rare capacity to make bodies follow the flow in a living comprehension of music. As the celebrated ballet Fancy Free, a veritable theatrical portrait of an era, enters the repertoire, Robbins reveals another facet of his talent.

A Happening in Central Park was performed and taped by video cameras on Saturday, June 17, 1967. The concert, sponsored by Rheingold Beer, and free to the public, was held in the Sheep Meadow section of New York City's Central Park. Barbra's television sponsor, Monsanto, captured the event on videotape for airing on CBS at a later date. Barbra took a weekend off from the filming of Funny Girl to perform the concert. On Friday night, June 16th, Barbra and crew rehearsed until very late. Many photos of Barbra in which she wears a headband were taken the evening of the dress rehearsal. (The cover of Barbra's A Christmas Album is actually a photo from the Friday night dress rehearsal in Central Park.) On that evening she tried on different gowns and worked with hairdresser Fred Glaser on alternate hairstyles. Director Robert Scheerer also worked out some of his camera blocking at the Friday night rehearsal. He utilized seven color video cameras to capture the concert.
