Royal Ballet and Opera fans will be delighted with the array of cinema screenings at the Torch Theatre during 2024 and 2025.

Bringing the thrill of world-class theatre to Pembrokeshire and offering audiences a view from the best seat in the house, the exciting programme shares the joy of live performance, and the beauty of world-class art.

Director of The Royal Ballet Kevin O’Hare said:

“This Season we’re thrilled to share three dynamic Company classics with our cinema audiences: the riotously inventive Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Christopher Wheeldon; Frederick Ashton’s magical fairytale Cinderella; and Kenneth MacMillan’s searing dramatic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Christopher Wheeldon’s Ballet to Broadway will be another opportunity to watch the versatility and energy of our dancers up close, and for Christmas we have a special 40th anniversary screening of The Nutcracker which is sure to delight. We can’t wait to share these cinema moments with you.”

The opera season is already in full swing and on Tuesday, October 22 you can see Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, followed by the family friendly Wolf Witch Giant Fairy on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 November. Going into December, be amazed by the spectacular showing of Cinderella on December 10 with a firm Christmas favourite of The Nutcracker on Sunday, December 22.
