BIG SCREEN OPERA AND BALLET
Trafalgar Releasing brings two stunning productions to UK cinemas next month. The Metropolitan Opera’s 2018-19 season continues with La Fille du Régiment, streamed live from New York to UK cinemas on 2 March.
Full of wit and invention, Donizetti’s comic opera is a delight. The famous aria “Ah, Mes Amis,” with its nine high Cs, is one of opera’s most show-stopping numbers. Bel canto stars Pretty Yende and Javier Camarena take on the challenging vocal fireworks in Laurent Pelly’s hilarious staging.
On 10 March, The Bolshoi Ballet 2018-19 cinema season presents the classic story of The Sleeping Beauty. Starring Olga Smirnova as Aurora, this is one of the most highly-anticipated productions of the season.
A resplendent fairytale ballet performed by the Bolshoi, The Sleeping Beauty features scores of magical characters including fairies, the Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, and a beautiful young Princess Aurora performed by Olga Smirnova, a “truly extraordinary talent” (The Telegraph).
