Ballet in the cinema: The Nutcracker will be screened live from the Royal Opera House
Look here too
The Nutcracker ballet will be screened live from the Royal Opera House at Cineworld on December 28th.
The show draws on the imagination and fantasy of E.T.A. Hoffmann's story of Christmas Eve when young Clara creeps downstairs for one of her presents but instead finds herself at the start of a night of magical adventures. Tchaikovsky's music is some of the most memorable of all ballets with a wealth of famous melodies.
Tony Hall, Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House comments, “The Nutcracker is synonymous with Christmas and our production has something for everyone to enjoy.”
Luke Roberts, Cineworld Communications and Marketing Manager explains, “This is a great opportunity for families to enjoy an exciting cultural event together without having to travel far for the experience.”
The London screening will be shown at Cineworld Fulham Road. Tickets are available from www.cineworld.co.uk costing £15 for adults and £5 for children.
In additon to the ballet, The Metropolitan Opera will be screend live from New York in the comfort of Cineworld on December 20th. Thais by John Cox will be transmitted in HD format. Tickets are available from www.cineworld.co.uk for £13.
