London’s Victoria and Albert Museum has announced that it will mount a major new exhibition this autumn in collaboration with the Royal Opera House, aimed at creating a ‘vivid and immersive journey’ through nearly 400 years of opera.
Opera: Passion, Power and Politics will be the first exhibition staged in the V&A’s new, purpose-built Sainsbury Gallery, one of the largest exhibition spaces in Europe.
It will be accompanied by live events and other digital initiatives from BBC Arts.
