Frequencies: The sounds that shape us
A season that brings you music and takes you beyond, to interrogate how you perceive and encounter sound – how does what you hear shape how you think?
Encounters: Giacometti
From 8 May
Contemporary artist Huma Bhabha's works are shown alongside Alberto Giacometti's iconic midcentury sculptures for the first time.
This exhibition is the first of three as part of Encounters: Giacometti.
Theatre
Following a triumphant run at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, Fiddler on the Roof transfers to our stage, and Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) stars in Good Night, Oscar, direct from Broadway.
Outdoor Cinema
Film nights under city lights
From August
The Sculpture Court will host our iconic Outdoor Cinema once more in August. Expect the usual mix of concert movies, cinema classsics and the odd experimental title.
Rebel Radio
Throughout June
Revisit the radical history of radio’s rebels and see how the legacy of pirate radio continues to inspire today in this month-long celebration with live broadcasts, film screenings, talks, and more.
Celebrate Pride
Classical Pride
June
LGBTQ+ voices have always had a presence in classical music, and for Classical Pride 2025 they’ll ring loud and proud within the vocal-led programme Voices of Pride. The glittering finale of Classical Pride in London will be celebrated in the Barbican Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra, a world premiere by Jake Heggie commissioned by Classical Pride and a line-up of star soloists.
Queer 70s
June
Travel back to the 1970s, when LGBTQ+ lives were shown on screen with an unapologetic gusto unthinkable a decade before. Experience a range of stories from around the world, from the Netherlands, India, Australia, UK, USA and Belgium, and more.
