ENO Screen begins with ENO\u2019s award-winning\u00a0Peter Grimes<\/em>\u00a0on 23 February 2014 and Terry Gilliam\u2019s new production of\u00a0Benvenuto Cellini<\/em>\u00a0in June 2014<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n

English National Opera (ENO) and AltiveMedia have today (Thursday 12 December) launched ENO Screen \u2013 a partnership to broadcast ENO\u2019s unique theatrical productions to 300 cinemas across the UK and Ireland and selected cinemas worldwide, extending the opportunity to see the most innovative contemporary opera in the world to audiences around the world.<\/p>\n

ENO Screen will begin with live screenings of David Alden\u2019s award-winning production of Britten\u2019s\u00a0Peter Grimes<\/em>, starring Stuart Skelton as the ostracised fisherman, on 23 February 2014 and the new production of Berlioz\u2019s\u00a0Benvenuto Cellini<\/em>, based on the colourful life of the 16th<\/sup>century Italian goldsmith and sculptor, directed by Monty Python legend Terry Gilliam in June. From autumn 2014, live screenings will extend to five or six productions a season.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the new venture, ENO Artistic Director John Berry said: \u201cENO’s entry into cinemas will be as distinctive as our live work in the theatre, creating a truly cinematic experience. Our productions are already seen worldwide in more than 30 cities and I believe that the cinema broadcasts will enable many more people to enjoy the excitement and passion of ENO\u2019s work and will encourage those visiting London to come to the theatre and see an ENO opera first hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have thought hard about whether to expand our activities into cinema and I believe in AltiveMedia we have now found the right partner to capture and promote ENO\u2019s unique artistic personality in an exciting and dynamic way.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter Grimes<\/em>\u00a0is a definitive work in ENO’s history and has proven to be one of our trail-blazing productions of recent years. It\u2019s a wonderful way to launch this new initiative so close to Benjamin Britten’s centenary year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Craig Shurn, Managing Director of AltiveMedia, said: \u201cWe have a first class technical and creative team who will ensure this will be an amazing spectacle that shows off ENO at its very best.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt that the opera offering in cinemas was incomplete without ENO\u2019s unique take, so we\u2019re delighted to be working with ENO to bring the most innovative, stunning productions of their type to the big screen. We\u2019ll be reaching out to those who already love opera and to people who have never tried it before, helping to build on the growing demand for this kind of quality entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n

ENO Screen broadcasts will be produced by Serpent Productions, led by MTV award-winning director and Grammy award nominee Andy Morahan and Producer Dione Orrom.<\/p>\n
