Question Multiple line match using sed

Please help!

Input pattern, where ... could be any number of lines
struct A {
Blah1
Blah2
Blah3
...
} B;

output pattern
struct AB {
Blah1
Blah2
Blah3
...
};

I need help in extracting everything between { and }
if it would have been on a single line { \(.*\)} should have worked.
