Oscar Wilde, the Royal Ballet and a magnificent farewell concert headline our lives creenings in June at Tideswell Cinema, upstairs at the George Inn.
An Ideal Husband, the third in our Oscar Wilde season, comes live from the VaudevilleTheatre, London, at 7.15pm on Tue June 5. Real-life father and son Edward and Freddie Fox star alongside Frances Barber, Nathaniel Parker and Susan Hampshire in this sharply comic play about an ambitious politician (the “ideal husband”) whose marriage and career are haunted by a scheming blackmailer.
Then on Tue June 12 at 7.15pm we return to the Royal Opera House for a fresh look at a great classic: Swan Lake. The RoyalBallet’s resident choreographer Liam Scarlett, still only in his early 30s, adds new twists to this much-loved ballet accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s glorious score.
Sir Simon Rattle’s farewell to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, where he has been chief conductor since 2002, comes to us live on Wed June 20 at 6.30pm. Sir Simon, who will conduct Mahler’s 6th Symphony, has already started his new job as musical director of the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican.
An Ideal Husband, Swan Lake and Sir Simon Rattle are £15 (£12.50 concessions).
