Giuseppe Verdi’s thrilling Rigoletto pits power against innocence, beauty against ugliness. In his first work as Director of The Royal Opera, Oliver Mears sets this production in a pitiless world of luxurious decadence, corruption and social decay, bringing Verdi’s masterpiece into the modern world. This special anniversary screening (filmed in September 2021) is conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano and celebrates 171 years since its premiere in 1851.
Carlos Álvarez performs the title role of the jester Rigoletto alongside Lisette Oropesa as Gilda and Liparit Avetisyan as the Duke of Mantua. Rigoletto is sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Live Cinema: "La Traviata" (opera)

“Another great Verdi performance…”
– Daily Express
19th-century Paris is a place of contrasts: glamor and superficiality, love and lust, life and death. Richard Eyre’s production of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata for The Royal Opera recently celebrated 25 years on the Royal Opera House stage and this year returns with acclaimed opera star Pretty Yende as Violetta.
The courtesan Violetta (Yende) lives and breathes the glamour of Parisian high society, but she has never known love – until she meets Alfredo (Stephen Costello). Abandoning her hedonistic existence for a new life in the country, Violetta receives a surprise visit from Alfredo’s father Giorgio (Dimitri Platanias), who exposes the cruelty of society’s double standards – and accelerates her tragic demise.
Verdi’s riches-to-rags opera has it all: from the intoxicating joy of the “Brindisi” party chorus, to the hushed poignancy of the final act, where hope teeters on the edge of despair. Courtesan Violetta sings some of Verdi’s most acclaimed arias including the joyous “Sempre libera,” in her poignant and passionate encounters with Alfredo and his father.
Filmed during a live event, the Live Cinema Series broadcasts offer audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers. The Live Cinema Series is sponsored in part by Shakespeare Walla Walla.

Gesa Power House Theatre presents a Live Cinema screening of The Royal Ballet’s current production of Swan Lake, on Wednesday, July 13 at 6:00 p.m.

The Royal Ballet’s sumptuous production of Swan Lake returns to the Royal Opera House stage after its 2020 revival was interrupted by the pandemic’s closure of theatres. This classic of the repertory is testament to the late choreographer Liam Scarlett’s abiding love of classicism and innate musicality, which shine through this production.

Edward Scissorhands (dance)

Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents Edward Scissorhands on Wednesday, September 25, at 7:00 PM, and Sunday, September 29, at 2:00 PM.
Matthew Bourne’s magical dance production of Edward Scissorhands has carved a place in the hearts of audiences worldwide since its premiere in 2005. Filmed live for the first time in March 2024 at the Wales Millenium Centre, Cardiff, this “visually arresting and ceaselessly inventive” (Metro) production is “the perfect treat for all the family” (The Times).
In a castle high on a hill lives Edward: a boy created by an eccentric inventor. When his creator dies he is left alone and unfinished with only scissors for hands until a kindly townswoman invites him to live with her suburban family. Can Edward find his place in the well-meaning community which struggles to see past his curious appearance to the innocence and gentleness within?
“The story of Edward Scissorhands has never felt timelier. In an era when uniqueness and identity are both celebrated and reviled, the story of how we treat anyone who appears to be different in our communities is as poignant and relevant now, as when my dear friend Caroline Thompson wrote the screenplay for Tim Burton’s legendary movie fable some 33 years ago… If you come to see it in cinemas, I hope that you too will fall in love with the enchanting story of Edward Scissorhands, the incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world.” Sir Matthew Bourne, Artistic Director, New Adventures.
Filmed during a live event, the Live Cinema Series offers audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers.
Reserved seating tickets are $15 ($10 for students) and are available online or by calling 509-529-6500. Runtime is 95 minutes.

Frankenstein
2026-04-12 14:00 - 16:00 | WA
On Sunday, April 12th, at 2PM, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents a screening of Frankenstein, filmed live at the Royal National Theatre.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
This production stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Dr. Strange, The Imitation Game) as the Creature, filmed live at the Royal National Theatre in London in 2011. Writer Nick Dear aims to tell the story, at least initially, from the creature’s point of view. “We do start with the moment of creation,” he says, “but not told from the perspective of the scientists, which is how it’s usually told; we tell it from the perspective of the experiment rather than the experimenter.
“A great deal of what we’re trying to do in this show is to explore what it feels like to be that experiment.”
