You can view a programme of productions on this website, by clicking here to open a new window, or at the end of this article. A list of participating cinemas is available in a new window here or at the end of this article. UGC, for the second year running, are putting on a programme of cinema operas throughout France. UGC managing director Alain Sussfeld, and Alain Duault, artistic director, said the chain was expanding its coverage for this second season and will broadcast 10 operas in 24 cinemas in France, between October 2011 and July 2012.
After all according to L’Express newspaper, the goal is to democratise access to an elitist art form, opera. For Alain Sussfeld, Opera Viva! aims “to ensure that many people are able to attend what remains a privilege: a performance at the Bastille or the Opera Garnier.” The monthly cinema performance on Thursdays at 19.45, costs 28 euros (10 euros for under 26 year olds) , the question is will it manage to retain a diverse audience, and ultimately, to broaden the circle of opera lovers. For a complete list of screenings, follow the link here or at the end of this article.
