We are thrilled to be joining forces with the team behind V&A’s illuminating `Opera: Passion, Power & Politics` exhibition for a taste of a new opera, written by Romanian enfant terrible musician Vlad Maistorovici. The fragments of this original new work, based on play by poet and playwright Marin Sorescu and inspired by the life of the fierce Wallachian prince Vlad (nicknamed the Impaler), will be part of a weekend of events in celebration of the critically acclaimed exhibition.

The performance is presented in partnership with Brighton Theatre, with the kind support of Ra?iu Family Charitable Foundation, Nigel Pittman, Trustee of Brighton Theatre & Brighton Early Music Festival and the Romanian Cultural Institute.
