CINEWORLD has loads of great ways to entertain the kids this half term, but there’s also a real treat for adults too – a live opera from New York’s iconic Metropolitan Opera House.
For the kids why not strap on your 3D glasses and enjoy some of the cutting edge digital technology. You could check out the world’s greatest super-villain in the hilarious new animated 3D comedy Despicable Me; watch two mismatched wolves embark on an incredible expedition in animated 3D family adventure Alpha and Omega 3D; or follow Soren, a barn owl who must embark on the journey of a lifetime to save the owl kingdoms in animated 3D fantasy adventure Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole 3D.
There’s also still time to catch Toy Story 3D. Old friends and new faces feature as Andy’s toys find themselves in a brand new home
Alternatively, in Ramona and Beezus the adventures of an extraordinary young girl are brought to life in this heart-warming tale based on the much-loved ‘Ramona’ stories by Beverly Cleary.
Finally, at just £1 for child and adult alike, Movies for Juniors gives parents the chance to enjoy the best kid’s films of recent weeks with all the family every Saturday morning. Each cinema offers three films on a Saturday morning, this week’s are: Tooth Fairy, Race to Witch Mountain and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
But for a more sophisticated evening of opera, Cineworld has a live screening of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, from which will be shown tomorrow, October 23, at 5pm. The epic tale of the legendary 17th Century ruler of Russia in operatic form will last for a total of 300 minutes (including interval). Tickets cost £12 for adults and £10 for concessions.
The next live-screened opera performance at Cineworld will be Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, on November 13.
