  • Opera, architecture, and design highlight London's vibrant cultural scene

    Opera, architecture, and design highlight London's vibrant cultural scene
    Feb 19 2026
    Welcome to your London events guide for this week! If you're looking for something spectacular to do, we've got wonderful news. Right now, the English National Opera is presenting Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny at the London Coliseum, and this production is absolutely exhilarating. It's a boldly innovative opera with music by Kurt Weill and a satirical narrative by Bertolt Brecht that's been garnering rave reviews. The performance runs for approximately two hours and forty minutes with one interval, and the best part is that while it was originally composed in German, ENO performs it in English with surtitles projected above the stage so everyone can follow along. Tickets start from just fifteen pounds including all fees, making this an accessible cultural experience for everyone.

    If opera isn't quite your speed, there's still plenty happening throughout the week. The Bartlett School of Architecture continues hosting its CRUNCH series, featuring talks that explore architecture and design from fascinating angles. These events celebrate the intersection of culture, sustainability, and innovative thinking that London's design community is known for.

    This weekend is particularly exciting because the Design Biennale Rotterdam is underway until March second, and while it's based in Rotterdam, it's drawing design enthusiasts from across Europe including many Londoners. For those who prefer staying local, the Collect exhibition runs from February twenty-eighth through March second at a London venue, showcasing contemporary craft and design that celebrates artistic excellence.

    London's cultural scene this week really offers something for every taste. Whether you're drawn to the dramatic intensity of world-class opera, the intellectual stimulation of architectural discourse, or contemporary design exhibitions, there's no shortage of ways to spend your time. The weather might be chilly this time of year, but stepping into one of these cultural spaces will warm you right up with inspiration and wonder.

    Don't miss the opportunity to experience what makes London such a vibrant cultural hub. Get your tickets for the opera, check out the architecture talks, or explore the design exhibitions. There's truly something magical happening across the city this week that deserves your attention.
