Graduate in scenic construction feat at the Royal Opera House

Kate Jewitt, RADA alumna, has just completed her most exciting project yet. Kate has just finished working on a moving tank that features prominently in a production of Il Trovatore at the Royal Opera House.

Kate graduated from the Foundation degree in Technical Theatre in Stage Management, and then completed the BA (Hons) progression year specialising in Scenic Construction, with two distinctions in July 2014. Kate has worked at the Royal Opera House in the properties department since August 2015, working on a variety of projects.

Kate told us: "this is the best thing I've ever made and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a complete privilege to work on and I wouldn't be here with out Mark and Jeff who taught me [at RADA] literally everything I know about making. They're the best tutors anyone could possibly ask for."
