The Guardian today announced partnerships with some of the most prestigious UK arts institutions to give audiences access to the best cultural performances, shows and events throughout 2012.

By partnering with Glyndebourne, the Royal Opera House, The Young Vic, Art Angel and the Roundhouse the Guardian will offer all more arts multimedia content than ever before.
