Billy Budd involves 53 men, and many more costumes! This is a diagram showing who is wearing what during the battle scene. Each costume is individually made. #englishnationalopera #enobudd #eno #billybudd #londoncoliseum #coliseum (Taken with Instagram)
Last week, I went behind-the-scenes into ENO’s Wardrobe Department with top fashion journalist, Charlie Porter. This is Billy Budd’s shirt, worn by Benedict Nelson (@ennobledinsect). Did you know that he got to choose the number on his shirt? He chose his daughter’s birthday. #englishnationalopera #eno #enobudd #billybudd #benedictnelson #coliseum #londoncoliseum (Taken with Instagram)
