According to Mr. McInnerney - "The project started off as a double album cover job and grew into a triptych with 12-page booklet.
The Opera had a strong libretto which I used to develop the images...I chose to do images that acted as symbols for key moments in the story.
I hoped the images would be viewed like painting and sculpture are viewed - that is, in a contemplative way, with along look at images layered with references."
Pete Townshend adds - "As ever, Mike's response was explosively positive. He overflowed with visual ideas, many of them influencing the way some of the songs - at that time in raw demo form - were to turn out..
The poetic mysticism of his work, its simplicity and bleakness, mirrored the music precisely."
