The Royal Ballet and Opera Shop are proud to present a breathtaking new series of limited-edition signed photographs featuring some of our celebrated Principal Dancers: Matthew Ball, Joseph Sissens, Fumi Kaneko, Reece Clarke, William Bracewell and recent OBE recipient Marianela Nuñez.
This collection, exclusive to the Royal Ballet and Opera Shop showcases glimpses of behind-the-scenes rehearsals and performance moments on the stage. These photographs offer a rare look into the artistry, emotion, and dedication that defines these extraordinary performers. Each one is personally signed by the dancer, making it a truly unique collector’s item and a wonderful gift for any ballet lover.
The series includes iconic imagery such as Marianela Nuñez in Peter Wright’s production of Marius Petipa’s Giselle, captured by Maria Helena Buckley in 2021, and Fumi Kaneko in rehearsal for the same production, photographed in 2025 by Andrej Uspenski. Maria Helena Buckley also provided the beautiful photography for Moments with Marianela. Uspenski also captured Reece Clarke in rehearsal for Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet in 2022 and William Bracewell in rehearsal for John Cranko’s Onegin in 2025
The dynamic pairing of Matthew Ball and Joseph Sissens in Christopher Wheeldon’s Us was photographed by Johan Persson in 2025. These photographers bring a distinct visual language to each image, highlighting the emotion, movement, and atmosphere of the moment.
Presented in a bespoke digitally printed black archival mountboard portfolio, the photographs are printed on Titanium Lustre 280gsm paper, and award-winning inkjet paper with a unique metallic base and a subtle lustre surface. Each print is part of a limited run of just 50 per artist, making these exclusive collector’s items for balletomanes.
To complete the experience, each print comes with a certificate of authenticity which includes a biography of each photographed dancer, to give even more insight into the performers.
