NEW BOLSHOI AND MET RELEASES

Featuring some of the most glorious music ever written—including, of course, the Ride of the Valkyries—Die Walküre is the second of the four operas that comprise Wagner’s Ring cycle, a story of monsters, gods, and humans on a superhuman scale. Catch this production from the Met Opera in cinemas tomorrow (30 March).

When twins Siegmund and Sieglinde find each other at last, Siegmund promises to release Sieglinde from her forced marriage by killing her husband, Hunding. The god Wotan instructs Valkyrie warrior Brünnhilde to defend Hunding. But, moved by the twins’ mutual devotion, Brünnhilde refuses to obey, forging an alliance with Sieglinde that has far-reaching consequences for them both.

With its jazzy score by Shostakovich and its music-hall atmosphere featuring beautiful tangos, The Golden Age from the Bolshoi Ballet is a refreshing and colourful dive into the roaring 20’s and you can see it in cinemas on 7 April.

In the 1920’s, The Golden Age cabaret is a favourite nightly haunt. The young fisherman Boris falls in love with Rita. He follows her to the cabaret and realises that she is the beautiful dancer “Mademoiselle Margot,” but also the love interest of the local gangster Yashka.
