16;45. Drama, Comedy. Italy, France 1963, 138 min. Directed by Federico Fellini. Starring: Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aimee, Sandra Milo, Rossella Falk. In Italian with Russian subtitles. Every Fellini film is a masterpiece in its own way. But this one is special: it is extremely autobiographical, subtle, filled with humor and sadness. The main character, played by Mastroianni, is a director who just can't get to work on his film, no matter what. He remembers the past and thinks about the future, plunges into dreams and fantasizes about the impossible. We are transported with him into his memories and suffer and rejoice along with him.

The Metropolitan Opera 2016, 105 min. Conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen. Starring: Nina Stemme, Adrianne Pieczonka, Waltraud Meier, Burkhard Ulrich, Eric Owens. In German with Russian subtitles. Strauss's blazing tragedy about an ancient Greek princess hell-bent on revenge comes to the Met in the final opera production by the legendary director Patrice Chéreau, who died in 2014. Esa-Pekka Salonen, who made a riveting Met debut leading Chéreau's production of Janáček's From the House of the Dead in 2009, returns to conduct an extraordinary cast headed by Nina Stemme as the obsessed and bloodthirsty title character. Waltraud Meier sings her first Met performances of Klytämnestra, Elektra's mother and the object of her fury, with Adrianne Pieczonka as Elektra's sister, Chrysothemis; Eric Owens as her exiled brother, Orest; and German tenor Burkhard Ulrich, in his Met debut, as the corrupt monarch Aegisth. Chéreau's longtime collaborator Vincent Huguet will stage the production at the Met. Watch online here.

USA 2010, 169 min. Conductor: Louis Langrée. Starring: Simon Keenlyside, Marlis Petersen, James Morris. In French. After over a century out of the Met’s repertoire, audiences were thrilled to discover just what a sensational evening in the theater Thomas’s Hamlet can be. Simon Keenlyside’s riveting performance as the tortured Prince of Denmark in Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser’s starkly brooding production had critics raving that Keenlyside’s superb singing, coupled with his deftly delineated three-dimensional Hamlet, was one of the greatest examples of operatic drama of our time. The cast includes Marlis Petersen as the long suffering Ophélie, who brilliantly shows why her mad scene is so justly famous, along with Jennifer Larmore and James Morris as Gertrude and Claudius.

Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching. Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

19:30. National Theatre 2014, 157 min. Directed by Marianne Elliott, Tom Morris. Starring: Sion Daniel Young, Alex Avery, Josie Walker. In English.

Filled with stirring music and songs, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing lifesized puppets by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
