SUMMARY:BORROMINI AND BERNINI: THE CHALLENGE FOR PERFECTION
DESCRIPTION:A journey into the great beauty of Baroque Rome\, when the city was the centre of western art and where every ambitious painter\, sculptor and architect had to be. \nThis is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time\, the one between Borromini and Bernini\, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity. \nBorromini deprived himself of everything to pursue a dream: to conquer Rome. It is the story of the architectural revolution of a solitary maestro who changed the appearance of Rome forever\, by pushing himself to his limit\, but also by battling conventions and prejudices\, with the humility to learn from the past to invent the future\, with the courage to pursue an idea despite knowing he would pay the price in the end. \nEstimated runtime: 102 minutes

SUMMARY:Botticelli: Florence and the Medici
DESCRIPTION:Purchasing tickets in advance is STRONGLY encouraged. Due to distanced seating in the theatre\, capacity is limited and walk-ups might not be able to be accommodated. \nFlorence in the era of the powerhouse Italian statesman\, politician and patron Lorenzo de’ Medici\, was the heart of Renaissance art and culture. One artist\, above all others\, was able to evoke the lights and shadows of this unforgettable era: Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510). Through Botticelli: Florence and the Medici\, we re-live Florence and all its art workshops through Botticelli’s life\, his collaborations\, his challenges and successes. From the outset of Botticelli’s career under the wing of the Medici family\, he established himself as the inventor of an ideal beauty\, seen in works such as The Allegory of Spring and the Birth of Venus. The death of Lorenzo de Medici marked the downward spiral of the Florentine master\, who was destined to be forgotten for over three centuries\, but the rediscovery of Botticelli by the Pre-Raphaelites reignited a genuine fascination with the artist and sparked a Botticelli-mania which continues to this day. \nRuntime: 90 mins approx.

SUMMARY:Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:Prior to purchasing tickets please review our COVID-19 Safety Measures and Policies.\nPurchasing tickets in advance is STRONGLY encouraged. Due to distanced seating in the theatre\, capacity is limited and walk-ups might not be able to be accommodated. \nWhen Australian composer Brett Dean’s Hamlet had its world premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017\, The Guardian declared\, “New opera doesn’t often get to sound this good … Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn’t always be picked up\, but Dean’s Hamlet rises to the challenge.” On June 4\, this riveting contemporary masterpiece appears live in cinemas\, with Neil Armfield\, who directed the work’s premiere\, bringing his acclaimed staging to the Met. Many of the original cast members have followed\, including tenor Allan Clayton in the title role. Nicholas Carter makes his Met debut conducting a remarkable ensemble\, which also features soprano Brenda Rae as Ophelia\, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Gertrude\, baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius\, and bass-baritone John Relyea the ghost of Hamlet’s father.
