While museums around the world are shuttered due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Apollo’s usual weekly pick of exhibition openings will be replaced by a selection of digital initiatives providing virtual access to art and culture.
The Royal Opera House in London has launched #OurHousetoYourHouse, a programme of free online content including weekly broadcasts (on YouTube and Facebook) of full-length productions: from Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte, in Jonathan Miller’s acclaimed staging, to the Royal Ballet’s performance of The Winter’s Tale, choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon and scored by Joby Talbot. There are also shorter videos to enjoy, such as a specially produced ‘socially distanced performance’ of the ‘Hallelujah’ Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.
