We are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership between The Royal Ballet and Opera and The Metropolitan Opera, who are joining forces to bring Il Barbiere di Siviglia, the final opera of The Met: Live in HD24/25 Season, into the Royal Ballet and Opera’s 24/25 Cinema Season!

This is the first time that the two leading opera companies in the world are partnering on their in-cinema offering and is an opportunity for RBO loyal audiences to see the Met’s world-class, critically acclaimed production of Il Barbiere di Siviglia, which is sure to be a blockbuster.

A fan-favourite opera by Rossini, Il Barbiere is also ideal for new audiences. The Met production will feature highly theatrical staging under the direction of renowned theatre and opera director, Olivier Award nominee and Tony Award-winner, Bartlett Sher.  It is one of the most accessible, entry-level operas and has consistently generated excitement with new audiences.

Barbiere’s casting will also make it a must-see for the RBO’s loyal cinema audiences – Aigul Akhmetshina was in the RBO’s 2024 Carmen (as well as in the Met’s production of the same in 2023/24), which was the RBO’s highest-performing opera title in the 2023/24 cinema and on-stage seasons. Andrey Zhilikhovsky starred as Marcello in the RBO’s 2022 La bohème.

Gillian Anderson (Sex Education), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the cast in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece, returning to cinemas.

As Blanche’s fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.

From visionary director Benedict Andrews, this acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014.

Fire Over Shingle Street—Fact, Fiction, or Propaganda?

A new documentary by Suffolk-based filmmaker Tim Curtis (Life on the Deben, Stanley's War) delves into one of Britain’s most persistent Second World War mysteries, asking: Has this enduring enigma been fully accounted for, or are there still unanswered questions?

For decades the Shingle Street ‘Mystery’ has divided the views of locals, journalists and historians alike with incredible and unexplained stories of the sea being set on fire, dead soldiers bodies on the beach and strange happenings in the night.

Was this remote stretch of Suffolk’s coast the site of a German invasion attempt? Did British forces set fire to the sea with petroleum weapons to repel the enemy? Or could it have been part of an elaborate wartime deception, designed to maintain national morale?

The film examines how the Suffolk coast was a hub of military secrecy—home to radar development and experimental weapons testing. Did these classified operations (with some still under wraps) combined with wartime propaganda help create the perfect conditions for rumours to fuel a wartime mystery?

The Shingle Street ‘Mystery’ gained renewed attention in the 1990s when the East Anglian Daily Times was contacted by an ‘MOD Whistleblower’ claiming to have a file—soon to be destroyed—detailing a horrific accident in which British soldiers had been killed in a training exercise.

The ensuing media frenzy led to the early release of classified documents from the National Archives at Kew. However, the files revealed little, sparking claims of a cover-up.

This gripping documentary takes viewers deep into Suffolk’s wartime history, and attempts to unravel a mystery that refuses to fade.

The film is followed by a recorded discussion and Q&A that took place at The Riverside on 2nd May with ‘Bodies on the Beach’ and ‘Burn the Sea’ author James Hayward, former East Anglian Daily Times Reporter, Henry Creagh, the film's director, Tim Curtis, and our manager, Neil.
