It opened at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, on 13 March 1980. Andy Klunder also designed the set and costumes and the original lighting was by Bill Besant. Described as ‘’a  meditation upon death’s harvest in the First World War’ (Clement Crisp, 1980) is one of Kenneth MacMillan’s most important works, danced by companies internationally and likely to stand the test of  time as a significant ballet. At its premiere, the <i>Illustrated London News</i>, May 1980, noted that the  mood of the ballet ‘is enormously aided by the brilliant and imaginative designs’. The Theatre and Performance collection at the V&amp;A owns costumes for male and female dancers in <i>Gloria</i>.\r\n\r\nThe women’s costumes are all-over lycra body tights in whites, blues, greys and silvers. On their heads  they wear stylised wigs with their hair coiled over their ears. Their make-up is pale and shimmering, suggesting that they are insubstantial memories. John Percival in <i>The Times</i> (14/03/1980) noted that ‘Andy Klunder, has dressed the dancers in greys and gingery browns. The men wear helmets shaped  like tin hats; their tights are textured so that they look flayed. The women’s skirts hang in shreds like shrouds.’ \r\n\r\nThe costumes were made by Zeta of Switzerland and painted and dyed by Covent Garden. The headdresses were made by Vin Burnham.","physicalDescription":"Costume design, numbered 1D, for Jacqui Tallis, Sally Inkin, Christine Woodward and Jane Devine in <i>Gloria</i>.
