At Ventnor Arts Club, NY Met Opera: Così fan tutte runs on Saturday 3 October. The organiser gives it 4 hours, from 18:00 until 22:00.
This Metropolitan Opera screening presents Mozart's romantic comedy in Phelim McDermott's Coney Island-inspired production. The four-hour running time includes one interval, with a cast led by Federica Lombardi, Samantha Hankey, Ana María Martínez and Gerald Finley. The fairground setting gives the familiar partner-swapping plot a visual world of its own. Opera regulars get a substantial cast and full production, while newcomers can settle in knowing the interval breaks up the evening. A compact town-centre venue changes the relationship between performer, screen and audience. At Ventnor Arts Club, the event can hold the room without the distance of a large auditorium.
This is the longest Ventnor Arts Club screening in the batch, running from 18:00 to 22:00 with one interval. Plan food before the performance and expect the opera to occupy the whole evening. The indoor room suits October, and arts and creative events has shorter alternatives for anyone unsure about a four-hour commitment. For Mozart fans, the length is part of the value: a complete Met production shown locally, with no mainland theatre journey attached.
