They are all brought together by one thing: the search for true love, which can take all kinds of forms. Some find feelings again after suffering a loss or break-up. Some dive into a world of fantasy. Some protagonists deal with problems of parental or family love, while others engage in the endless, yet forever different battle of the sexes. But Berlin is ready to accept everyone — you just have to open your heart to it.

18:00. Theatre HD Live in Cinema. Director: Ivo van Hove. Starring: Suliane Brahim, Christophe Montenez, Benjamin Lavernhe. 177 min. In French with Russian subtitles. The Belgian director Ivo van Hove has combined the two plays - Euripides’ “Electra” and “Orestes” - into one uninterrupted staging. Euripides’ “Orestes” picks up five days after the conclusion of “Electra,” but it’s as if no time has passed. After Electra and Orestes conspire to kill their mother, Clytemnestra, and her lover in the first play, the siblings face justice and spiral into further violence in the second. None of the elements that make up Mr. van Hove’s production are especially original on their own. A quartet of percussionists is in the background throughout and creates an ominous soundscape for the action, in a manner reminiscent of classical Japanese theater. The action is interspersed with ritualistic dance scenes led by Electra and the Chorus, who beat their chests and fall repeatedly into the mud. While the choreography was created by Wim Vandekeybus, it is indebted to the raw, primal spasms that drove Ms. Bausch’s dancers to exhaustion.

15:00. Theatre HD Live in Cinema. Opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini. 180 min (with one intermission). Director: Bartlett Sher. Conductor: Maurizio Benini. Starring: Peter Mattei, Joyce DiDonato, Juan Diego Flórez, John Del Carlo, John Relyea. In Italian with Russian subtitles. Rossini’s operatic masterpiece "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" ("The Barber of Seville") has been staged all over the world, and even children recognize Figaro’s famous aria, while "Figaro qua, Figaro là and La calunnia è un venticello" have become bywords. The witty Rossini, being not only an outstanding composer but also a brilliant cook, developed the recipe for the opera’s incessant, astounding success. Here it is: take seven bright characters and an intoxicating love intrigue, spice the mixture with humorous dialogues, dress with wonderful melodies and sprinkle virtuosic ensembles on top. Peter Mattei and Rodion Pogossov share the title role of the barber in Bartlett Sher's popular production, which propels the comic action right into the audience. Isabel Leonard sings her first Met Rosina, sharing the role with Diana Damrau, and Javier Camarena makes his Met debut as the Count.
