Description
The Royal Ballet in 2020/2019 captures a pivotal moment in the company's history. In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced theatres and arts centres to close, but The Royal Ballet Company adapted quickly, with training programmes set up virtually and digital performances live from the venue. This book of photographs showcases the remarkable resilience of the company during this challenging year. The collection features striking images of classic productions, dancers engaged in community projects, socially distanced performances on stage, and rehearsals with face masks. It also highlights the measures taken to ensure safety, such as mask-wearing and extensive COVID testing. Through these photographs, the book conveys the adaptability and determination of The Royal Ballet during a time of great uncertainty. By documenting this period in the company's history, the book provides a unique insight into the impact of the pandemic on the arts industry.
