context_page_description: Ana Inés Jabares-Pita, born January 21, 1987, is a Spanish designer working across opera, dance, theater, film, concerts and exhibitions.
context_section_description: In 2013, Jabares-Pita was declared 'overall winner' of the Linbury Prize for Stage Design for her design proposal of The Driver's Seat, a stage adaptation of Muriel Spark’s 1971 novella. Thanks to this award, she worked with Laurie Sansom, director of the National Theatre of Scotland, on this production at the Glasgow Tramway arts centre in 2015.
  In 2015 she designed The Echo Chamber for the Young Vic in London, followed by Lela & Co (2015) for the Royal Court Upstairs, and Wish List (2016) for the Royal Exchange, Manchester.
  She continued her work in Scotland, such as In Fidelity (2016) for the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, and designing Daphne Oram and the Wonderful World of Sound (Blood of the Young) (2017) at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow.
  In 2018, she worked in several productions all around the UK, such as The Lovely Bones (2018) directed by Melly Still and adapted by Bryony Lavery after Alice Sebold (a Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Royal & Derngate, Northhampton and Northern Stage co-production with Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse); the world premiere of  the opera To See the Invisible (Aldeburgh Festival 2018); Twelfth Night (Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, and Bristol Old Vic 2018), and Pride and Prejudice (*sort of) (2018) at the Tron Theatre.
  Jabares-Pita also did design work in art galleries such as Dulwich Picture Gallery and the V&A Museum, where her work on What Girls Are Made Of  was selected to be part of their archive.
  She has been one of the first Spanish stage designers to work at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where she designed set and costumes for Europeana (2020; part of the PROJEKT EUROPA season, currently suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic) based on a novel by Patrik Ouředník, directed by Maria Aberg. Some of her most recent works include Blond Eckbert (2020; currently suspended due to COVID-19) for the English National Opera, and Faustus: That Damned Woman (2020) by Chris Bush, directed by Caroline Byrne (co-production Headlong, Lyric Hammersmith and Birmingham Repertory Theatre).
