Screening of The Royal Opera's production of Wagner's Götterdämmerung at the historic Dome Cinema, part of the RBO Cinema Season 2026/27.
The Royal Opera brings Götterdämmerung to the Dome Cinema on Wednesday 3 February, as part of The Royal Ballet & Opera Cinema Season 2026/27. It's a screening of their stage production, so you get the full opera on the big screen without having to make the trip to London.
Götterdämmerung is the final instalment of Wagner's Ring cycle, and it doesn't go out on a quiet note. The tagline is 'An earth in ruin. The twilight of the Gods', and that's a fair summary of where it lands. The story follows Siegfried, who's tricked into betraying Brünnhilde, and from there it's a slide into treachery and devastation. If you've followed the rest of the cycle, this is the one that ties it all together and brings the whole thing to a close.
The venue is the Dome Cinema on Marine Parade, and it's worth a mention if you've never been. It first opened in April 1911 as The Kursaal, a multi-purpose entertainment hall where roller-skating, live music and theatre drew crowds; a small cinema opened upstairs in October 1911 showing silent films accompanied on the piano by the owner, Carl Seebold. The building was transformed in 1921, which gave birth to the opulent Screen 1, and it now has three screens including a 500-seat main auditorium, well-loved for its historic charm and welcoming atmosphere.
