SUMMARY:Shackleton's Cat\, English Touring Opera
DESCRIPTION:Shackleton’s Cat returns in 2018\, as part of ETO’s award-winning strand of operas for young people. The opera features nine performers\, including singers and players\, and tells the story of the voyage and destruction of the Endurance 100 years ago\, and the subsequent tale of survival against all odds. \nThe story itself begins in 2015\, when scientists measuring the alarming changes in the levels of the polar sea-ice make an astonishing discovery: the bones of a cat. They belong to Mrs Chippy\, the carpenter’s cat on the Endurance\, and best friend to the young Welsh stowaway Perce Blackborow. At the heart of the opera is Shackleton himself\, perhaps the greatest expedition leader of all time. The opera follows the crew as they set sail from Buenos Aires to the incredible rescue after months of hardship. \nWith an ingenious set made of maps and images from the expedition to the Antarctic\, interactive songs and a puppet cat\, this opera\, aimed at children aged 7–11\, is performed by ETO’s singers and orchestra\, and was created by composer Russell Hepplewhite and librettist Tim Yealland.

SUMMARY:MET Opera: Massenet's Cendrillon
DESCRIPTION:A fairy godmother\, a glass slipper\, an opulent ball\, an enchanted forest\, and a Prince Charming who loves her – did all that really happen\, or was it just a dream?

For the first time ever\, Massenet’s sumptuous version of the Cinderella story comes to the Met in this imaginative storybook production directed by Laurent Pelly. Superstar Joyce DiDonato sings the title role\, alongside British mezzo-soprano Alice Coote in the trouser role of Prince Charming\, Kathleen Kim as the Fairy Godmother\, and Stephanie Blythe as the archetypal wicked stepmother. \nOther cinemas may also be screening this. Find your nearest cinema screening through the excellent Operaworld search tool!

SUMMARY:MET Opera Screening: Verdi's Luisa Miller
DESCRIPTION:Plácido Domingo adds yet another chapter to his legendary Met career with this rarely performed Verdi gem\, a heart-wrenching tragedy based on Friedrich Schiller’s novel Intrigue and Love. The young maiden Luisa loves Rodolfo\, unaware that he is actually the son of the local lord. An unscrupulous rival for her affections tells her father of Rodolfo’s true identity\, turning the old man against him. Jealousy\, suspicion\, and betrayal tear the lovers apart\, but Luisa remains loyal to her father to the last. In the first Met performances of the opera in more than ten years\, Sonya Yoncheva sings the title role opposite Piotr Beczała as Rodolfo\, with Domingo as Luisa’s stern-yet-loving father. Bertrand de Billy conducts. \nOther cinemas may also be screening this. Find your nearest cinema screening through the excellent Operaworld search tool!

SUMMARY:ROH Live Screening: Verdi's Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:The warrior Macbeth fights on the side of the King of Scotland – but when a coven of witches prophesy that he shall become king himself\, a ruthless ambition drives Macbeth and his wife to horrific acts. Murder makes Macbeth king\, and intrigue and butchery are the hallmarks of his brief\, doomed reign. The witches make another prediction\, which also comes true: Macbeth and his lady lose their lives\, and justice is restored. \nVerdi’s life-long love affair with Shakespeare’s works began with Macbeth\, a play he considered to be ‘one of the greatest creations of man’. With his librettist Francesco Maria Piave Verdi set out to create ‘something out of the ordinary’. Their success is borne out in every bar of a score that sees Verdi at his most theatrical: it bristles with demonic energy. Phyllida Lloyd’s 2002 production for The Royal Opera is richly hued\, shot through with black\, red and gold. The witches – imagined by designer Anthony Ward as strange\, scarlet-turbaned creatures – are ever-present agents of fate. Lloyd depicts the Macbeths’ childlessness as the dark sadness lurking behind their terrible deeds. The Royal Opera’s production uses Verdi’s 1865 Paris revision of the opera\, which includes Lady Macbeth’s riveting aria ‘La luce langue’. \nOther cinemas may also be screening this. Find your nearest cinema screening through the excellent Operaworld search tool!
