An Opera for the Ages

Tonight, Cedar Lee Theater will screen the National Theater’s encore presentation of The Audience, an opera which stars Helen Mirren as Elizabeth II. The plot chronicles a series of pivotal Buckingham Palace meetings between the queen and the country’s prime ministers. The performance is being broadcast live from London’s Gielgud Theatre as part of the National Theatre Live. It screens tonight at 7 and again on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $20. (Hintz)
