The Live Cinema Series continues with a screening of the current production of The Winter's Tale by The Royal Ballet on Wednesday, March 28 at 6:00 p.m. This production is filmed live in London and rebroadcast internationally to select screens.

Christopher Wheeldon, Artistic Associate of The Royal Ballet, created his adaptation of Shakespeare’s late great romance "The Winter’s Tale" for The Royal Ballet in 2014. Building on the success of "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland", "The Winter’s Tale" received ecstatic praise at its premiere, acclaimed by critics and audiences alike for its intelligent, distinctive and emotionally powerful story, told through exquisite dance. It is now widely judged to be a modern ballet classic.

The story follows the destruction of a marriage through consuming jealousy, the abandonment of a child and a seemingly hopeless love. Yet, through remorse and regret – and after a seemingly miraculous return to life – the ending is one of forgiveness and reconciliation. With powerful designs by Bob Crowley and atmospheric music by Joby Talbot, "The Winter’s Tale" is a masterful modern narrative ballet.

This screening runs approximately 3 hours including two intervals and an onscreen introduction. Beer, wine, and snacks will be available for purchase.

Reserved seating tickets ($15 Adults, $10 Students/Youth) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. For group ticket sales, please call 509-876-1662.
