| We are so lucky these days to have opera shown in local cinemas at a fraction of the cost of an opera house (let alone the flight to New York). We see the living streaming of productions from the New York Metrolopolitan Opera House, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and Glyndebourne ❑ We see the live streaming (members buy their own tickets) and then walk a couple of minutes to a member’s house across the road in Rosebery Gardens for a drink and a chat  Alan Whitehouse (Group Convener) |
| Usually in the evening (New York Metropolitan Opera broadcasts on Saturdays), with some matinées | |
| Picturehouse and sometimes ArtHouse cinemas | |
