Event cinema brings the opera house, the theatre and the concert hall to your local screen, sometimes live, sometimes recorded a few days earlier. Big Screen Live explains how these broadcasts work, what makes a good screening, how ticket prices compare with a seat in the venue, and why some productions look better in a cinema than from the back of the stalls.
Articles cover opera and ballet seasons, filmed theatre, concert films, art exhibitions on screen and the independent cinemas that programme them across the UK. This is an independent site, with no link to any cinema chain, distributor or venue.
