Opera
Giulio Cesare (Julius Caesar) - 4th December at 6.30pm
Giulio Cesare is one of Handel's grandest and most lavishly scored works and this celebrated Glyndebourne production, directed by David McVicar, won the 2006 South Bank Show Award for Best Opera. Caesar's noble Rome meets the passionate and cunning world of Cleopatra's Egypt in this entertaining political drama. The all-star cast includes Angelika Kirchschlager, Danielle de Niese and Sarah Connolly in the title role.
La Cenerentola (Cinderella) - Sunday 14 December 1.30pm, Thursday 18 December 7.15pm
Based on the classic story of Cinderella, Rossini's much-loved comic opera La Cenerentola is no simple fairy tale. Glyndebourne's Music Director Vladimir Jurowski and Sir Peter Hall unite in a timelessly elegant production of this social comedy where love triumphs over dark and wicked ways. Ruxandra Donose stars in the title role with Maxim Mironov as her ‘Prince Charming'.
All operas will be presented in HD and 5.1 surround sound
Make a night of it with your own Showroom Opera Box of refreshments. Each box includes a selection of mouthwatering canapés and a glass of fizz to enjoy in the comfort of the cinema.
