Sunday 24 October
Chauvel Cinema, Paddington – new production of Das Rheingold from the New York Met. Our function will be held at the Chauvel Cinema, Paddington, which will be showing a delayed broadcast of Rheingold marking the start of the new Met Ring under James Levine, in an eagerly-awaited production by Robert LePage.
Members should buy their own tickets to that performance early, through the theatre box-office, to avoid disappointment. The Society is negotiating with the management of the Chauvel with a view to having an area set aside for an after-film function for Society members. If that is not possible, we will attempt to find another location nearby.
If you have already bought a ticket for this performance at the Hayden Orpheum or Dendy Opera Quays, or for another date, please think carefully before you cancel that ticket and purchase another for the showing at the Chauvel, as it may be booked out at that time.
Please also note that the previous advertised date of Sunday 17 October no longer applies.
Sunday 21 November
2pm Goethe-Institute (preceded by an opera DVD TBA) - , and will be our Christmas Party.
* Goethe-Institut address: 90 Ocean Street Woollahra (corner of Jersey Road)
