We visualised the story of opera from its origins in renaissance Italy to the present day, focusing on the opening nights of seven opera premieres.

To reimagine the symbolism of opera, we created a heraldic device that unites the physical and narrative elements of the operatic experience.

Capturing the spirit and energy of opera with the immersive nature of the exhibition, our short films portrayed each opera across a 400 year history.

Balancing performance with artefact, the creative became the inaugural campaign for the V&A’s major new exhibition road quarter in London.
