This has a new ‘brandmark’ that will be used across all printed materials and other visual formats (e.g. the web). • A consistent design framework will underpin, and hence unify, all printed materials and other visual formats. As recognition of our brandmark and design-style grows, our audiences and other stakeholders will immediately recognize our communications. This will make the breadth and depth of our work much more apparent, thus broadening perceptions of our organization from one focused on traditional opera and ballet to one recognized for both traditional and modern opera and ballet and work at the forefront of the development of these art-forms. The prominent use of our brandmark on all materials will imbue whatever is being communicated with the values associated with the royal opera House, ‘excellence without arrogance’. everything we communicate will benefit from the expectation of high quality that our brand conveys. This manual describes the new approach to branding and design. By adhering to these guidelines we will develop a brand and visual identity that will be valuable and powerful assets for the future. Caroline Bailey Director of MArKeTinG April 2009 4 ROYAL OPERA HOUSE | branding, design and copy manual ROYAL OPERA HOUSe extenT of APPLication of these guiDeLines These guidelines apply to almost all printed materials and other visual formats that carry one or more of our brands (royal opera House, The royal ballet, The royal opera, ROH2 and orchestra of the royal opera House). section a explains how our brands should be used in materials designed to look as if they are from the royal opera House, whether produced by us or a third-party. These guidelines explain not only how our brands should be used, but also when and how third-party brands (such as visiting company brands, sponsor brands, funding-partner brands and publisher brands) should be included in these materials. second b explains how third-parties can use our brands in their communications, subject to our permission (e.g. a venue wishing to promote a touring performance by ROH2 or The royal ballet). section c outlines key aspects of our house style for copy. This sets out the main principles that should be applied to everything written that is issued from/on behalf of the royal opera House. The only situations in which these guidelines do not apply are those involving one or more of the royal opera House brands and the opus arte brand. because opus arte is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the royal opera House, a separate set of guidelines has been developed to govern the visual presentation of this relationship. communications and other materials involving a royal opera House brand and the opus arte brand must not be considered as examples of what would be acceptable in any other situation involving a third-party brand and one or more of the royal opera House brands. 5 ROYAL OPERA HOUSE | branding, design and copy manual section a royal opera House communications conTenTs A | royal oPerA HoUse Communications 1 ROYAL OPERA HoUSe BrANdING 7 3 oTHER CORE DESIGN eLEMENTS 33 primary template versions oUr BrAnD vALUES 8 masTer Typeface 34 SQUARE VERSION 56 oUr UMBRELLA BrAnD: ROYAL oPERA HoUSE 9 seCondarY typeface 35 LAnDsCAPe VERSION 57 oTHer MeMBERS of oUr BrAnD FAMiLY 10 typoGraphiC example: TeXT-RICH VERSION 58 other parTs of oUr organization 11 SEASON GUiDe PAGe 36 www.roh.org.uk VERSION 59 THIRD-PArTY BrAnDs 12 typoGraphiC example: CoPY RICH TeMPLATes HoW THESE BrAnDs FiT ToGeTHER 13 POSTER 37 MAsTER VERSION 60/61 WHERE the ROYAL oPERA HoUSE ALTERNATIVE TYPeFACES 38 www.roh.org.uk VERSION 62 BrAnDs BeLONG 14 royal OperA HoUse reD 39 eMAiL VERSION 63 non-standard applications 2 HOW to USe oUr BrANDMArKS 15 4 oUR DESIGN TEMPLATe 40/41 THIRD-PArTY WeBSITes 64 ROYAL oPERA HoUSE BrAnDMArK 16 PRIMARY TEMPLATE TiCKeT 65 The BrAnDMArK CoLoURS 17 MAsTER VERSION 42 The umbrella BrAnD alone 66 PRINTING the BrAnDMArK masTer version GRId 43 CompanY and Production-sPeCiFiC on a RED BACKGROUnD 18 The UMBRELLA BrAnD 44 MERCHAnDISE 67 CLeAr sPACe AROUnD the BrAnDMArK 19 PERFORMING CoMPAnY or ROYAL oPERA HoUSE stationerY 68 PREFFERED SIZE of the BrAnDMArK 20 SERVICe-PROVIDER BrAnD nAMe 45/46 BUsiness carD Template 69 MINIMUM SIZE of the BrAnDMArK 21 TiTLe and KeY INFORMATION REQUIRED 47/48 BACKGROUnD CONTROL 22 LoGISTiCs INFORMATION 49/50 5 Compliance 70 INCORRECT USE of the BrAnDMArK 23 CoMMERCiAL sPONSOR CREDiTs USING the ROYAL oPERA HoUse or CHANNEl BrAnDs 51 BrAndmarK in DesiGn 24 FUnDING-PArTNER BrAnDs 52 The ROYAL oPERA, ROYAL BALLeT VENUe INDiCATOR 53 and ROH2 BrAnDMArKs guiDeLines 25-32 PosiTioninG the Template 54 examples of the PrimarY Template 55 6 ROYAL OPERA HOUSE | branding, design and copy manual section a royal opera House communications XXXXXconTenTs 1 ROna, c. gYALo etiorav oocavempPERa linam, confinHo telusUSE contiem B iamr Atelan DING veriaectus, niam pro vir la ad inem ompraris firmil hosteriorum maio, culvit, omnimul arbemus, tem aurs ca et? pali publici enihingulius maxim conequam oraesse nducenirioc, faut pl.

They apply to all aspects of our work, not only to performances by The royal opera and The royal ballet, but also to visiting company performances at the royal opera House, education events, exhibitions, the catering offer, www.roh.org.uk, our box office and our customer service. These values also underpin all aspects of our communications. our ‘ e X cellence wit H o u t a r r o g a n c e ’ umbrella brand and its brandmark have been chosen and designed to epitomize and communicate our brand values. The guidelines in this manual have been developed to ensure that every aspect of our communications adheres to these values. in the context of our communications, ‘excellence’ is easy to understand. it implies communications that attract the attention of those targeted, provide the information required by that target and are clear and accurate. ‘Without arrogance’ refers to the tone and style of language used in our communications. it suggests language that is carefully tailored to meet the needs of its target audience, that takes into account the level of knowledge of its target and that is neither condescending nor aloof and inaccessible. 8 ROYAL OPERA HOUSE | branding, design and copy manual section a royal opera House communications 1 | royal oPerA HoUse BrAnDinG oUr umbrella BrAnD: royal opera House our branding strategy involves an overarching ‘umbrella’ brand that is used across all of our printed materials and other visual formats.

  • Commissioned Orchestral Version of Jonathan Dove’S Mansfield Park, Commemorating the 200Th Anniversary of the Death of Jane Austen
    The Grange Festival announces the world premiere of a specially- commissioned orchestral version of Jonathan Dove’s Mansfield Park, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the death of Jane Austen Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September 2017 The Grange Festival’s Artistic Director Michael Chance is delighted to announce the world premiere staging of a new orchestral version of Mansfield Park, the critically-acclaimed chamber opera by composer Jonathan Dove and librettist Alasdair Middleton, in September 2017. This production of Mansfield Park puts down a firm marker for The Grange Festival’s desire to extend its work outside the festival season. The Grange Festival’s inaugural summer season, 7 June-9 July 2017, includes brand new productions of Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, Bizet’s Carmen, Britten’s Albert Herring, as well as a performance of Verdi’s Requiem and an evening devoted to the music of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Rodgers & Hart with the John Wilson Orchestra. Mansfield Park, in September, is a welcome addition to the year, and the first world premiere of specially-commissioned work to take place at The Grange. This newly-orchestrated version of Mansfield Park was commissioned from Jonathan Dove by The Grange Festival to celebrate the serendipity of two significant milestones for Hampshire occurring in 2017: the 200th anniversary of the death of Austen, and the inaugural season of The Grange Festival in the heart of the county with what promises to be a highly entertaining musical staging of one of her best-loved novels. Mansfield Park was originally written by Jonathan Dove to a libretto by Alasdair Middleton based on the novel by Jane Austen for a cast of ten singers with four hands at a single piano.

ADVISORY BOARD Amy Atkinson Karen Elson Jill Robinson Anne Brown Karen Hayes Patterson Sims Libby Callaway Gavin Ivester Mike Smith Chase Cole Keith Meacham Ronnie Steine Jen Cole Ellen Meyer Joseph Sulkowski Stephanie Conner Dave Pittman Stacy Widelitz Gavin Duke Paul Polycarpou Betsy Wills Kristy Edmunds Anne Pope Mel Ziegler A MESSAGE FROM OZ Welcome and thank you for joining us for our first presentation as a new destination for contemporary performing and visual arts in Nashville. By being in the audience, you are not only supporting the visiting artists who have brought their work to Nashville for this rare occasion, you are also supporting the growth of contemporary art in this region. We thank you for your continued support. We are exceptionally lucky and very proud to have with us this evening, one of the worlds’ most inspiring choreographic minds, Wayne McGregor. An artist who emphasizes collaboration and a wide range of perspectives in his creative process, McGregor brings his own brilliant intellect and painterly vision to life in each of his works. In FAR, we witness the mind and body as interconnected forces; distorted and sensual within the same frame. As ten stunning dancers hyperextend and crouch, rapidly moving through light and shadow to a mesmerizing score, the relationship between imagination and movement becomes each viewer’s own interpretation. An acronym for Flesh in the Age of Reason, McGregor’s FAR investigates self-understanding and exemplifies the theme from Roy Porter’s novel by the same name, “that we outlive our mortal existence most enduringly in the ideas we leave behind.” Strap in.

Photo: Steve Tanner WELCOME 2016 – a momentous year – in which the world celebrated the richness of Shakespeare’s legacy 400 years after his death. Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe. Actors performed scenes from the late plays running in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Southwark Cathedral, a service which was the only major civic event to mark the anniversary in London and was attended by our Patron, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.
