Carmen, Opera in HD: La Scala season premiere
Young Georges Bizet, who died soon after the first run of Carmen in Carmen 21875, never enjoyed the success and fame of his creation. Carmen wasn't initially well received but became and still is one of the most famous and most popular works in the opera repertoire. For this production, La Scala has gathered a new generation of opera stars, including the German tenor Jonas Kaufmann, the Uruguayan baritone Erwin Schrott, the Italian soprano Adriana Damata, and newest revelation Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili, winner of the Leyla Gencer Voice Competition last year. Conductor: Daniel Barenboim. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Broken Embraces
A man (Lluís Homar) writes, lives, and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. InBroken the accident, not only lost his sight, but also he lost Lena (Penélope Cruz), the love of his life. This man uses two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signs the film he directs. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. The story of Mateo and Lena is a story of "amour fou", dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery, and a guilt complex. In Spanish with English subtitles. Director: Pedro Almodóvar 2009 Spain 127min. R digital HD Official Web site  Trailer on YouTube

Dinner & A Movie is $28 per person. Includes movie ticket
