A NUMBER of operatic masterpieces and classic tales by William Shakespeare will be brought to the big screen in Redditch.

These are just some of the live events that will be screened at the Vue Cinema in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre this summer, via live streams.

Kevin Styles, managing director of Vue, said: “Our live and event cinema showings are continuing to be hugely popular.

“We take pride in providing our customers with the best seat in the house for a host of sought-after shows bringing the best of the West End to all corners of the UK.

“We don’t just feature acting brilliance – this month we also have Andre Rieu’s 2016 Maastricht Concert for lovers of classical music.”

Highlights that will come to the Redditch cinema include Kenneth Branagh’s Theatre Company’s new vision of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet next month.

Branagh and his team have taken a modern twist of the classic Shakespeare tragedy, which tells the tale of a longstanding feud between Montagues and Capulet families.

There will also be Richard III performed live from the Almeida in London, The Royal Opera shows, and the 25th anniversary performance of Miss Saigon.
