The Royal Ballet – The Unknown Soldier

In the Studio

Available for over a year

Conceived by choreographer Alastair Marriott, with a score by Oscar-winning composer Dario Marianelli, sets by visionary designer Es Devlin and inspired by personal testimony, the Unknown Soldier is a new work by the Royal Ballet to commemorate the centenary of the ending of World War I. Edwina Pitman steps behind the velvet curtains of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London, to see how this world-class creative team is blurring the lines between choreographer, designer and composer as they work together to create a powerful new work.
