You are correct. The set was very simple and remained the same for all the pieces. "pulled curtains at the wings entrances" as you said with a color cyc. Lighting (on gray marley, with a cyc, some minimal textures on the floor) gave the different looks for each Jewel. Perhaps youtube will give a better idea of the set. http://www.youtube.com/houstonballet

Thanks, amitava. I love the designs for this ballet.
You didn't include a credit for the composer. Whose music?
Sorry I usually do not mention music, since that cannot be experienced in the photos... But research indicated music is by Rimsky-Korsakov, from operas (Sadko, Le Coq d'Or, Mlada, and The Invisible City of Kitesh), the third symphony Antar, and the tone poem Skaza. It was arranged by John Lanchbery. I can obtain the playlist from the production staff if you are more curious.
