Village, Launceston: La Boheme and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland screen in Nov

Act 2, La Boheme

Event & Village Cinemas in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing will exclusively screen Puccini’s La bohème and Christopher Wheeldon’s exuberant Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland this November as part of the Royal Opera House 2017/18 Live Cinema Season.

Featuring filmed performances from the world-renowned Royal Opera House in London, the program presents the very best opera and ballet from the iconic venue, captured in jaw-dropping detail for Australian audiences to enjoy as if they were there themselves.

The program continues in November with Puccini’s La bohème (4, 5 and 8 November). Conducted by Antonio Pappano, this new production stars a superb young cast including Australian soprano Nicole Car, Michael Fabiano and Mariusz Kwiecien in the Italian classic chronicling the lives of young artists living in the Bohemian fringes of 19th century Paris.

November will also see the program’s first ballet, with Christopher Wheeldon’s exuberant Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (25, 26 and 29 November). Inspired by the much-loved Lewis Carroll book, Wheeldon’s Wonderland features Alice getting swept off her feet by the Knave of Hearts, on the run for stealing tarts, plus countless strange creatures including a tap dancing Mad Hatter.
