In 2012, I began a deck of tarot cards, all on opera. I wanted every painting to have an appropriate situation or person in opera, fulfilling the meaning of each tarot card. Hopefully, I have managed to include most of the major operatic composers. The writer Philip Carr-Gomm has accompanied my deck, with a brilliant and erudite text.
Containing 80 tarot cards (including two alternatives) measuring 13x9cms, printed on 350gms card. Each painting printed in full colour, depicting a person or situation in opera. 2 books with meanings and explanations. One in English, the other translated into Italian.
This is a high quality deck, with an outer slip- case case approximately 14x10.5x6cms. Rose-gold leaf writing on inner and outer boxes. Rose-gold edges to cards and backs. Some tarot paintings include historic or living opera singers.
This edition, signed and numbered by the artist, is limited to 1000 copies.
Price UK £65 each. Postage & packing to a UK address: £5 for one or more copies.
Europe €80 each. Postage & packing to Europe: 20 euros for one or more copies. 8 copies or more will be sent carriage free, worldwide.
