About the event
2009 | Opera | 2H 38 Min | Not rated
George Gershwin miraculously melded classical idioms, jazz, blues and spirituals in the quintessentially American masterpiece about a crippled beggar, the headstrong woman he loves and the community that sustains them both; presented here in an acclaimed production from San Francisco Opera.
The film is the first of six operas being screened at 2pm on the second Sunday of each month - April to September, as part of the 2025 Mangawhai Opera Lovers Film Festival.
Join us for a glass of bubbles and canapes at 1.45pm. There will be a short introduction to the film at the Mangawhai Opera Lovers Film Festival (5-10 minutes at 2pm) before the film is screened. A short, written synopsis of the opera will be provided.
Note the start time is 2pm (1400), not 4pm. Ticket price is $15.
