Royal Opera House Christmas Card

This is the very special 2021 Christmas card produced for the Royal Opera House. The 4pp card is A5 size (210x148mm) portrait. The brief was to create a Christmas card that showed a variety of work done by the ROH since the lockdown in March...

Graphic Designer at the ROH, Ana Peres, collated three pictures showing The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet, and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. The captions for the original pictures are: 

1. Artists of The Royal Ballet in Untouchable in The Royal Ballet: Back on Stage. 

2. Jonathan McGovern in Apollo and Daphne in 4/4, The Royal Opera.

3. Artists of The Royal Ballet in Within the Golden Hour in The Royal Ballet: Back on Stage.

All images © 2020 ROH. All photographs by Tristram Kenton.

Above is a detail image showing the composite mono image. The card is printed in 1 colour (black) on a toner based digital press. The festive look of the final picture is completed with the sparkles of the paper as it is printed on our Stardream, Crystal 285gsm...

Printing was handled by Indicia, a 'print-farmer' who handles the printing for the ROH.

It is a really well designed, simple and cost effective solution with great impact and perfectly suits this very unusual and strange year. My thanks to Ana for the images and information about the project.
