Leventi credits his love of the architectural spaces of these extravagant and awesome performance halls to being raised by architect parents and the influence of his maternal grandfather, a cantor with a golden voice, who aspired to singing opera until his forced internment in a Soviet labor camp during World War II. A former assistant to the renowned photographer, Robert Polidori, Leventi’s own photographs display clarity and a pared down minimalist vision where volume and form take precedence over any overriding attitude or effect. The typology derived from the opera houses is formed by a consistent viewpoint from the stage, over the orchestra, where the often ornate ceilings play an impressive role in capping the spaces in heavenly domes.
