Anton Brioschi

In 1882, he was briefly employed by the city theater in Teplitz, followed by six months in Munich, working with the stage designer, Simon Quaglio.

In 1883, he was hired as a theatre painter at the Staatsoper Hannover, and received good critical reviews in the local media.

Until the late 1890s, He personally designed the sets for the Opera's most important productions, including Otello (1888), Cavalleria Rusticana (1891), Pagliacci (1893), and The Bartered Bride (1896).

Taken together, these additions had a tendency to restrict his independence and, increasingly, he found himself simply creating other people's designs.

This brought an end to a period when the Brioschi family set the styles and standards for Central European theatre.
