ART & DESIGN ON VIEW

ART & DESIGN ON VIEW AROUND THE WORLD Antonio Berni’s La gran tentación, 1962 CYPRIOT TREASURE Opened in April by the President of Cyprus, the Leventis Gallery is the largest private gallery in the island nation, offering up works by European masters – including Canaletto, Monet and Chagall, as well as a century of Cypriot artists – in a €26m building by award-winning British architect Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios that’s a destination in its own right. leventisgallery.org ON STAGE The hot ticket of the season comes at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where this month and next Russian diva Anna Netrebko will play the leading Lady in Verdi’s Macbeth under the baton of Fabio Luisi (metopera.org). But the buzz is yet greater for another Shakespeare performance nearly a year away: Benedict Cumberbatch, right, playing Hamlet for a new production by Lyndsey Turner at London’s Barbican. It’s hard to beat Britain’s favourite actor playing the Bard’s most famous role (hamlet.barbican.org.uk). October sees Malba in Buenos Aires host Antonio Berni: Juanito y Ramona, the first exhibition of the Argentinean artist to focus on his Juanito and Ramona works, uniting more than 170 of them (30 Oct–2 Feb; malba. org). In Melbourne, the National Gallery of Victoria offers up the first major retrospective of Robert Jacks, the abstract master who grew up in the city (3 Oct – 15 Feb; ngv. vic.gov.au). Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum in the Roppongi Hills will be home to Lee Mingwei and His Relations, another of Mingwei’s interactive exhibitions, this time allowing visitors to experience the most significant of the artist’s works (20 Sep-4 Jan, mori.art. museum).
