19:30. The Metropolitan Opera 2010, 145 min (with one intermission). Directed by Otto Schenk. Starring: Anna Netrebko, Matthew Polenzani, Mariusz Kwiecien. In Italian. Donizetti’s timeless comedy shines in Otto Schenk’s enchanting production, conducted by James Levine and featuring a remarkable cast. The incomparable Anna Netrebko is Norina, the young widow beloved by Ernesto (a suave Matthew Polenzani), who is about to be disinherited by his miserly uncle, Don Pasquale (John Del Carlo). It takes the clever scheming of Dr. Malatesta (Mariusz Kwiecien) to set things right and to teach the old curmudgeon a lesson—fits of temper, mistaken identities, and all kinds of comic confusion included.

19:30. Chichester Festival Theatre 2018, 227 min. Directed by Jonathan Munby. In English with Russian subtitles. In commemorating of Sir Ian McKellen’s 80 anniversary we are glad to introduce for your consideration a special screening. The great Shakespeare’s drama becomes a real benefit performance for Sir Ian McKellen demonstrating his brilliant capabilities as a theater actor. Two aging fathers - one a King, one his courtier - reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, and their worlds crumble. Tender, violent, moving, and shocking, King Lear is considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written. This will be an explosive, charged and contemporary retelling of Shakespeare's epic masterpiece in the intimate setting of the Minerva Theatre.
