A little bit of culture is headed Macarthur region’s way next month.
Legendary composer Tchaikovsky’s final full length opera The Queen of Spades will hit the big screen at Event Cinemas Campbelltown on February 16, 17 and 20.
It is part of the Royal Opera House 2018/19 Live Cinema Season when The Queen of Spades will be screened at 19 Event Cinemas and 7 Village Cinemas locations across the country, including Event Cinemas here in Campbelltown at Macarthur Square.
Based on a short story by poet Alexander Pushkin, the Queen of Spades follows Gherman, a soldier torn between love and a destructive fixation with gambling.
The opera set in 1890 explores madness, obsessive passions and the supernatural, with the characters giving voice to Tchaikovsky’s own unfulfilled desires.
