PROBABLY the largest Goya exhibition in recent memory, the world première of a display now open in Granada features over 1,000 pictures, set to music.

The late-18th and early-19th century painter's works will be in the Alhambra Palace city until June 20, heading to Madrid in the autumn, and will then tour other provincial capitals in Spain before moving overseas.
Instead of borrowing Francisco de Goya's artworks from museums all over the planet, these are shown on five-metre-high (16'6”) screens, 35 of them in total, via 40 projectors, and synchronised to music by some of Spain's biggest and best-known classical composers including Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909), Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), Luigi Boccherini – who was Italian-born but lived for many years in Spain before his death in 1805 – and Enrique Granados (1867-1916).
Having started on Monday this week (March 22), the #InGoya exhibition, naturally, follows all anti-Covid procedures, meaning limits on numbers and 'structured' entry via timed slots, seven days a week between 10.00 and 22.00, without closing for lunch.
Prices start at €9, but discounted tickets are available for groups, students, the disabled, the unemployed, and for family passes, with all children under five getting in free.
