Thu 14 Jun at 7:00pm with Benedict Cumberbatch as Frankenstein
Sat 16 Jun at 7:00pm with Jonny Lee Miller as Frankenstein
National Theatre Live
Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire) returned to the theatre to direct this visionary production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.
A new play by Nick Dear based on the novel by Mary Shelley.

Opera Australia
La Traviata is one of the world's best and most popular operas, composed by the great Giuseppe Verdi. This devastatingly romantic story is told using some of the most recognisable tunes in classical music. When Verdi's magnificent music is combined with the spectacular location, incredible set and beautiful voices of Opera Australia's best, you can be sure that you will be treated to a night out that you won't soon forget.
Sung in Italian with English subtitles. This is a recording from Opera Austalia.

Glyndebourne
This production of Ravel’s only two one-act operas will reunite director Laurent Pelly and conductor Kazushi Ono, who made their Glyndebourne debuts in 2008 with Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel. While L’enfant et les Sortilèges shares with that opera a child’s-eye view of a sometimes threatening world, L’heure Espagnole is a thoroughly adult confection.
Stéphanie d’Oustrac, who last sang at Glyndebourne as Sesto in Giulio Cesare, will sing Concepción, while Canadian baritone Elliot Madore will make his UK and Glyndebourne debut as Ramiro.

Glyndebourne
A revival of Jonathan Kent’s award winning 2009 production, The Fairy Queen is a magical brew featuring dazzling singing and dancing, flamboyant cross-dressing, a flying horse and a warren full of rampant rabbits!
The Daily Telegraph called it ‘an absolute riot, but executed with taste and style’ while The Observer said ‘it is hard to imagine a more brilliantly creative approach to the work.’
The cast includes Lucy Crowe, Claire Debono and Carolyn Sampson. Performance captured live for cinemas in 2009.

Glyndebourne
This new production of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro brings together two thrilling artistic talents in director Michael Grandage and Glyndebourne’s Music Director-in-waiting, Robin Ticciati.
Rising British soprano Sally Matthews makes her Glyndebourne Festival debut as the Countess alongside Italian baritone Vito Priante in his debut as Figaro.
This performance was capturered live in 2012.
