reception

Rolf Michaelis wrote about Gisela Köster's costumes for the production of Hebbel's “Gyges” in Hamburg in 1982: “Gisela Köster designs symbolic costumes for the different temperaments of the people in this triangular story, which are at different stages of development. ... In her white dress, the collar of which she often flaps over her hair, her forehead and lower half of her face hidden behind a net veil, she [meaning Barbara Nüsse as the king's daughter] looks less like a Mohammedan in a shador than - tied in ribbons that still hold her feet tie up - a mummy.
