Sebastian Nevols collaborates with Royal Ballet & Opera

Over the past two years, Sebastian Nevols has had the opportunity to work closely with the Royal Ballet & Opera, initially focusing on stills and trailers for individual productions. This year, his role expanded significantly as he was entrusted with creating visuals for the entire upcoming season – a substantial task involving ten campaigns shot within a month.

To achieve this, Sebastian assembled a talented team to help craft a unified visual language for all the productions while preserving each one’s unique identity. What started as basic sketches evolved into engaging trailers and stills that captured the heart of each production.

The first production he worked on was Onegin, an opera featuring Gordon Bintner and Eliza Agrosoaie. The story revolves around youthful love and later regret. The trailer and Key Art aimed not to depict a specific scene but to reflect the deep emotions of the lead character during his reunion with Tatyana, capturing his shifting reality and longing for the past.
