Background

This Christmas we celebrate ten years of the Royal Opera House Live Cinema Season. The Linbury Theatre – the West End's newest and most intimate theatre – becomes a cinema for a five-week festival. A live screening of The Nutcracker on 3 December is followed by 20 screenings of great operas and ballets, each with memorable casts. Festival screenings will be introduced by Royal Opera House staff and artists and for special family-friendly weekend matinees children aged 5–15 go free.
