About the event

2008 | Opera | 2h 34m | Not rated

Britten’s final operatic masterpiece has been acclaimed as an “exquisitely achieved marriage of music, drama and design” (The Independent).

The story follows Gustav von Aschenbach, a renowned and disciplined writer in his early fifties who becomes infatuated with the captivating beauty of a young Polish boy named Tadzio while on vacation in Venice. Aschenbach's increasing obsession leads to a psychological and emotional unravelling as he confronts his own mortality and grapples with the conflicting desires of restraint and indulgence.

The film is the fourth of six operas being screened at 3pm on the second Sunday of each month - April to September, as part of the 2024 Mangawhai Opera Lovers Film Festival. Join us for a glass of bubbles and canapes at 2.45pm.

There will be a short introduction to the film at the Mangawhai Opera Lovers Film Festival (5-10 minutes at 3pm) before the film is screened. A short, written synopsis of the opera will be provided.

Note the start time is 3pm (1500), not 4pm. Ticket price is $15.
