Finally a cinema in Toronto is screening opera in cinema broadcasts that are not from the Met. Bloor Hot Docs (Bloor and Bathurst) is showing a number of Royal Opera House offerings. They aren’t live and the line up makes even the Met seem adventurous but the theatre is said to have good sound, comfy seats and encourages food and drink. Here’s the screening schedule so far:
| SAT | Feb 15, 2014 | 1:30 PM | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE – DON GIOVANNI | ||
| SAT | March 15, 2014 | 1:30 PM | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE – TURANDOT | ||
| SAT | April 19, 2014 | 12:30 PM | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE – PARSIFAL | ||
| SAT | May 17, 2014 | 1:00 PM | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE – LES VEPRES SICILIENNES | ||
| SAT | June 14, 2014 | 1:00 PM | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE – LA BOHEME | ||
| SAT | July 12, 2014 | 1:00 PM | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE – MANON LESCAUT |
