Alison Morgan

Allison Morgan is a designer who creates costumes for the stage and screen.
She recently earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Costume Design from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Apparel Design and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and French Studies from the Brown University/Rhode Island School of Design dual-degree program.

She is particularly interested in collaborating on music-based works. This spring, she designed costumes for the New Chamber Ballet’s performance of Grieg’s Violin Sonata No.3 in New York, and the Yale Baroque Opera Project’s production of Cavalli’s L’Egisto.

She has an extensive background in opera, beginning with a Fulbright Fellowship for the Arts in Venice, Italy. While at Yale, she researched archival costume designs as a Graduate Research Fellow at the university’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. During the past two summers, she was the assistant costume designer on productions of Mozart’s Don Giovanni  and Verdi’s Rigoletto at the Santa Fe Opera, and she is currently the associate costume designer on Opera Philadelphia’s production of Mozart’s Mitridate, Re di Ponto. This fall, she will embark upon a year-long research project titled “Costuming the Chorus: Lessons from the French Grand Opéra Tradition” in Paris, France on a Fulbright fellowship.
