SUMMARY:MET Opera Screening: Rossini's Semiramide
DESCRIPTION:Against the backdrop of the Hanging Gardens\, Semiramide\, Queen of Babylon\, defies bad omens and supernatural threats in her quest to find a worthy successor to her late husband. But she harbours more than one dark secret\, and whoever gains the throne may find that he has lost more than he has won. Based on a story by Voltaire\, this rarely performed tragic opera reveals The Barber of Seville composer Giaochino Rossini in a whole new light. The title role – composed for Rossini’s wife\, Isabella Colbran – features some of the most demanding vocal music he ever wrote. Angela Meade takes on the challenging vocal fireworks in this revival of a production last seen at the Met 25 years ago. \nOther cinemas may also be screening this. Find your nearest cinema screening through the excellent Operaworld search tool!

Performed with sumptuous sets and costumes\, the opera is sung in Italian with English surtitles. \nA tragic tale of searing passion and memorable music\, La traviata is Verdi’s outstanding interpretation of one of the most popular love stories of the 19th century\, Alexandre Dumas fils’ La Dame aux Camélias..

SUMMARY:MET Opera screening: Puccini's La bohème
DESCRIPTION:The world’s most popular opera returns with an exciting young cast in Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary production. Poverty-stricken poet Rodolfo and his artist friends eke out a precarious existence in bohemian Paris\, alternately practising their art\, laughing\, quarrelling\, dodging the landlord\, and living it up in their local cafe. When Rodolfo meets the delicate Mimì\, the pair instantly fall in love. But Mimì is ill\, Rodolfo is jealous\, and their romance is doomed from the start. Opera superstars Sonya Yoncheva and Michael Fabiano play the heart-breaking couple\, singing two sublime Puccini favourites – “Sì\, mi chiamano Mimì” and “Che gelida manina.” Zeffirelli’s stupendous onstage recreations of 19th-century Paris are sure to take your breath away. \nOther cinemas may also be screening this. Find your nearest ROH cinema screening through the excellent Operaworld search tool!

SUMMARY:MET Opera Screening: L'Elisir d'Amore\, Donizetti
DESCRIPTION:The poor country boy Nemorino is in love with Adina\, a confident landowner\, but she is way out of his league – financially and otherwise. But when he buys a “love potion” from a travelling quack\, the results are rather more than he bargained for. Charmingly staged by Bartlett Sher\, Donizetti’s beloved masterpiece combines deft comic timing with touching emotional depth. The production stars Matthew Polenzani\, who enthralled Met audiences as Nemorino in 2013 with his moving “Una furtiva lagrima.” Rising South African soprano Pretty Yende is the spirited Adina\, Davide Luciano makes his Met debut as the arrogant soldier Belcore\, and Ildebrando D’Arcangelo is the potion-peddling Doctor Dulcamara. \nDomingo Hindoyan conducts. \nOther cinemas may also be screening this. Find your nearest ROH cinema screening through the excellent Operaworld search tool!

SUMMARY:Ruddigore\, Gilbert & Sullivan: CU G&S Soc
DESCRIPTION:Cambridge University Gilbert and Sullivan Society returns to West Road Concert Hall for the fifth year in a row\, this year performing the brilliant Ruddigore. A terrible curse condemns each baronet of Ruddigore to commit one crime per day or perish in inconceivable agony. Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd has gone into hiding to avoid the curse and lives in a Cornish village where\, disguised as the young farmer Robin Oakapple\, he has fallen in love with the fair Rose Maybud. His prospects are ruined when his foster brother Dick Dauntless betrays him to Sir Despard Murgatroyd\, the acting baronet. Ruthven is forced to take on the baronetcy and its curse\, enforced by an entire portrait gallery of his ghastly ancestors. Ruddigore is a hilarious operatic satire of Victorian melodrama. Despite the sinister backdrop\, you’ll find all the laughs and silliness you’d expect from G&S\, combined with some of Sullivan’s most majestic music.

SUMMARY:ROH Live Screening: Puccini's  Tosca
DESCRIPTION:Tosca is one of the great evenings of opera\, and from its strident opening chords conjures up a world of political instability and menace. \nJonathan Kent’s production for The Royal Opera captures the dangerous political turbulence of Rome in 1800. Giacomo Puccini’s dramatic work was a hit with audiences at its 1900 première and it remains one of the most performed of all operas\, with its gripping plot and glorious music. \nOther cinemas may also be screening this. Find your nearest cinema screening through the excellent Operaworld search tool!

SUMMARY:Pre-performance talk by Charlotte Valori: Puccini and Tosca
DESCRIPTION:Please join me in the bar of the Fisher Theatre for a FREE pre-performance talk before the live cinema screening of Puccini’s Tosca from the Royal Opera House. I’ll be explaining a bit more about Puccini as a man who loved the best he could get – from fast cars to large cigars – and explaining where Tosca fits in to his wider life as a composer of powerfully dramatic\, emotionally charged opera.
