20:25. Fantasy, action, thriller. USA, UK 2010, 148 min. Directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy. In English with Russian subtitles. Cobb is a talented thief, the best of the best in the dangerous art of extraction: he steals valuable secrets from the depths of the subconscious during sleep, when the human mind is most vulnerable. Cobb's rare abilities made him a valuable player in the treacherous world of industrial espionage, but they also turned him into an eternal fugitive and robbed him of everything he had ever loved. But now Cobb has a chance to correct his mistakes. His last case could bring everything back, but for this he needs to do the impossible: an inception. Instead of a perfect theft, Cobb and his team of specialists will have to do the opposite. Now their task is not to steal an idea, but to implant it. If they succeed, it will be the perfect crime. But no amount of planning or skill can prepare the team to face a dangerous opponent who seems to anticipate their every move. An enemy that only Cobb can see.

20:30. Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre/Opéra Royal du Château de Versailles Spectacles 2019, 154 min (with no interval). Directed by Benjamin Lazar. Starring: Mathias Vidal, Eva Zaïcik, Victoire Bunel. In French with Russian subtitles. A co-production by Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre and Opéra Royal du Château de Versailles Spectacles in collaboration with Le Poème Harmonique. The script for Phaëton — tragédie lyrique by composer Jean-Baptiste Lully and librettist Philippe Quinault — is based on one of the stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Phaëton, the son of Helios and the ocean nymph Clymene, was severely punished by the gods for his pride and ambition. It is sometimes referred to as "the people's opera", just as Lully's Atys is referred to as "the king's opera" (incidentally one of Louis XIV's favourite works). After its premiere in 1683 at the Palace of Versailles, Phaëton reigned supreme on the Parisian stage until the mid-18th century, with certain musical numbers even permeating the everyday life of those within the more democratic layers of society.

The Metropolitan Opera 2010, 215 min. Directed by Nicolas Hytner. Starring: Roberto Alagna, Marina Poplavskaya, Simon Keenlyside. In Italian. Director Nicholas Hytner, who made his Met debut with this production, brings out all the passionate intensity that is at the heart of Verdi’s monumental drama. Don Carlo (Roberto Alagna), the Spanish crown prince, and Elizabeth of Valois (Marina Poplavskaya), daughter of the King of France, fall in love, only to be torn apart by international politics when Carlo’s father, King Philip II (Ferruccio Furlanetto), decides to marry Elizabeth himself. Carlo’s friend, Rodrigo (Simon Keenlyside), plays a dangerous game, balancing his political aims with the trust of his monarch. And when the beautiful Princess Eboli (Anna Smirnova) discovers her love for Don Carlo is not returned, her revenge terribly backfires. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met orchestra and chorus.
