Unfortunately we will be unable to screen Les Contes d’Hoffman from NY Met Opera this Saturday (12th October) due to a problem with the satellite transmission. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. If you paid by card, you will receive a full refund in the next few days.
We understand this is very disappointing as it’s the first event in the new season, but hopefully we will see you all at future opera events.

Offenbach’s fantastical opera kicks off the Metropolitan Opera’s season of Live in HD performance broadcasts on October 5, starring French tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role of the tormented poet. Joining Bernheim is American soprano Erin Morley as Olympia, South African soprano Pretty Yende as Antonia, and French mezzo-soprano Clé mentine Margaine as Giulietta to complete Hoffmann’s trio of lovers. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher’s evocative production, which also features American bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four Villains and Russian mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in her company debut as Nicklausse.
This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe. Please note – the planned dates listed above may be subject to change.
