OPERA: PASSION, POWER AND POLITICS. TOGETHER THE V&A AND THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE

Opening on Saturday, 30 September 2017

Together the V&A and the Royal Opera House present a landmark exhibition exploring a vivid story of opera from its origins in late-Renaissance Italy to the present day

Told through the lens of seven premieres in seven European cities, this immersive exhibition takes you on a journey through nearly 400 years, culminating in the international explosion of opera in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Opera: Passion, Power and Politics will tell the arresting story of an art form that has developed over the past 400 years. This immersive audiovisual exhibition, in collaboration with the Royal Opera House, is the first to be staged in the new Sainsbury Gallery; part of the V&A's Exhibition Road Quarter.
