What it is
The experience places Yuja Wang’s piano performance inside a virtual environment that visitors can explore. It is presented as a 45-minute experience rather than a conventional seated recital.
Dates, place and price
Southbank Centre lists the run from Wednesday 9 September 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027 at Spirit Level, Level 1 of Royal Festival Hall, with tickets from £26.
Choose the right slot
Start from the official event page, compare available times and read the ticket conditions before payment. Do not assume a standard Royal Festival Hall auditorium entrance or an open-ended visit.
Plan the wider trip
Allow arrival time beyond the 45-minute runtime, then add only one flexible nearby stop. Royal Festival Hall’s free installations and the Thames path keep the day compact if timings change.
Access and suitability
Check the organiser’s current access and experience information before booking, especially when movement, visual intensity, sound or step-free access affects the decision.
