Eden Cinemas new culture season announced
Eden Cinemas has announced its new award winning Royal Opera House slate, meticulously curated, for the upcoming season. After last season’s excellent slate, the productions chosen to be screened this upcoming year will be equally if not more impressive.
This year’s programme offers a variety of the top ballets and operas which will be performed at The Royal Opera House throughout the year. The live cinema program will begin on 26 September with Bellini’s operatic masterpiece Norma, featuring the world-renowned Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja. Among the opera highlights are the anticipated new productions of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte and Verdi’s Otello. The Royal Ballet’s slate is equally as impressive, with productions including The Sleeping Beauty to Petipa’s music, Frederick Ashton’s The Dream, and Balanchine’s breathtaking Jewels.
Eden Cinemas will be giving viewers the chance to win tickets to view one of these performances at the Royal Opera House. Upon purchasing a ticket for Eden Cinema’s Royal Opera House season, individuals will be automatically entered in a draw for the chance to win two tickets to a live show in London.
Broadcast live, directly from The Royal Opera House, viewers will experience all that live theatre has to offer. Audiences will get access to pre show and behind the scenes footage, some may agree that the experience is more exclusive than watching it in London. They will also learn how The Royal Opera House productions are staged and designed from the perspective of the directors, cast, crew and more!
