In 2027, Tate Modern's Turbine Hall will feature David Hockney's opera set designs from the 1970s onwards as part of a celebration of his 90th birthday. Hockney designed 11 opera sets over 17 years, beginning in 1975, for works by composers like Mozart, Wagner, and Stravinsky. The rest of Tate's 2027 program includes a Sonia Boyce retrospective, an Edvard Munch show, and a Chila Kumari Singh Burman show at Tate Liverpool. Tate Modern will also host "Painting Time," a Monet exhibition focusing on his "Water Lilies" cycle and his dedication to capturing fleeting moments. Tate Britain will present a Gainsborough exhibition to mark the 300th anniversary of his birth.
