Royal Opera House
ART AND SOUL. SINCE 1847
Our concept draws on the rich heritage that underpins the ROH’s reputation for excellence. With the undeniable authenticity and quality of performance of its artists continuing to enrich the lives of its global audience, we wanted to explore this idea of heritage and authenticity through analogue photography – Using a 19th Century large-format camera and lens to produce tintype wetplate collodion images that evoke a deep exploration of the sitter – teasing out the soul and passion that informs their work.
Carlos Acosta, Principal Guest Artist with The Royal Ballet, was our first subject. This tintype portrait, captured by specialist wetplate photographer Sean Hawkey, forms the first part of our new ART AND SOUL campaign. Lauren Cuthbertson, Principal of The Royal Ballet, and Joyce DiDonato - world renowned operatic lyric-coloratura and mezzo-soprano - also feature.
