Specialist note
Roger Wood (1920-2005) was a photographer best known for his work in the ballet, recording virtually every major company and principal dancer in the post-war years, including Margot Fonteyn, Frederick Ashton and Alicia Markova. Between 1949 and 1953, he was one of two official photographers at the Royal Opera House, as well as working at Glyndebourne.
When visiting Aldeburgh, Wood got to know Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, taking photographs of them which were shown at their home, Red House. His work is in the Collections of the Lincoln Centre, New York, and the Royal Opera House, London.
