THIS HOUSE a new play by James Graham Sat 8 June & Sun 9 June at 1.00pm at Luna Leederville + Luna on SX ★★★★★  Daily Express, Daily Telegraph ★★★★ Daily Mail, Evening Standard, Guardian, Independent, Sunday Express, Sunday Times, The Times

It's 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one, fist fights erupt in the bars, and ill MPs are hauled in to cast their votes. It's a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and age-old traditions and allegiances are thrown aside in the struggle for power. James Graham’s biting, energetic and critically-acclaimed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments. Directed by Jeremy Herrin Running time: Approximately 3 hours (including interval) A funny and moving political epic.’ The Times ‘Astute, funny and hugely enjoyable.’ Financial Times ‘Jeremy Herrin’s production recaptures, with abundant theatricality, the mayhem of Westminster politics.’ Guardian

THE AUDIENCE a new play by Peter Morgan Sat July 6 & Sun July 7 at 1.00pm at Luna Leederville and Luna on SX  ‘The Audience is going to be one of the theatrical highlights of 2013.’ Daily Mail

Starring screen royalty herself - Helen Mirren - who reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience, broadcast as part of National Theatre Live. Written by Academy Award-nominated Peter Morgan, whose writing credits include The Queen & Frost/Nixon and directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours). For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive. ★★★★★ ‘Funny and truthful, good-hearted, spiky, full of surprises. I loved every minute.’ The Times  ★★★★★  'Wholly tremendous.' Daily Telegraph (UK) ★★★★ - The Independent, London Theatre, ABC News

	OTHELLO by William Shakespeare Screening Saturday 12 Oct and Sunday 13 Oct  at 1.00pm at Luna Leederville and Luna on SX  ‘Adrian Lester’s take on Othello will be unmissable..’  The Observer

Revelation Perth International Film Festival are going back to the future and returning to Luna Cinemas to celebrate their 16th birthday.

There’ll be more cinema, guests, discussions and surprises than you can poke a stick at. The full program for the 2013 Festival will be released in early June – with a few tasty teasers between now and then.

Revelation kicks off from 4-14 July. So 2013 sees programs at our core venue Luna Leederville as well as Cinema Paradiso in Northbridge and Luna SX in downtown Fremantle.

Revelation FF  full program will be announced on June 4th but we'll be releasing some tasty teasers between now and then. So check out Sunset Strip!
Cutting it way through downtown Hollywood, the very geography of Sunset Strip tells the story of the city, and the hopes, ambitions and dreams of those who have flocked there. From the hotels frequented by the glamorous stars in the Golden Age of Hollywood through to the hip clubs where The Doors and Love invented the Los Angeles counter culture, Sunset Strip was where the kids rioted against the curfew, where the great rock bands partied in the seventies, where LA punk cut its teeth and where heavy metal first thrust into the public eye.
Taking a psycho-geographical journey down the Strip, Hans Fjellestad’s movie is a pure celebration of Sunset and its place in popular culture.

The whole Company is drawn into the fun, dancing a myriad of quirky characters: a twitchy White Rabbit, a tap dancing Mad Hatter, a sinuous caterpillar and so many more. Alice and the Knave of Hearts, deftly danced by two Royal Ballet Principal dancers, are at the centre of the story, and the role of The Queen of Hearts, another Principal, is wittily captured with hilarious results. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a brilliantly imagined show and, with a magical score, ingeniously inventive designs and a wealth of theatrical effects, has something for everyone to treasure.

He is joined by an exciting young cast including Ukranian soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska as the power-hungry priestess Abigaille. Acclaimed theatre and opera director Daniele Abbado makes his Royal Opera debut directing this co- production with La Scala, Milan. Verdi’s rich score offers melody, power and raw drama on a scale that does full justice to the opera’s epic themes of nationhood, faith, love and redemption and calls upon the full might of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and Royal Opera Chorus. Music: Verdi | Cast: Plácido Domingo, Andrea Caré, Vitalij Kowaljow, Marianna Pizzolato, Liudmyla Monastyrska | Conductor: Nicola Luisotti | Director: Daniele Abbado | Duration:  2 hours 50 minutes (includes one interval)

Based on Sir Walter Scott’s poem The Lady of the Lake, La donna del lago is the most fully romantic of Rossini’s Italian operas. Expansive ensembles and shimmering orchestration generate an opulence seldom heard in the composer’s comic works. In the hands of three of the leading bel canto voices of our time, Juan Diego Flórez (Count Almaviva in The Royal Opera’s Il barbiere di Siviglia, Tonio in The Royal Opera’s La Fille du régiment), Joyce DiDonato (who sang the title role in Cendrillon with The Royal Opera last Season), and Colin Lee (Tonio in the 2012 revival of La Fille du régiment), La donna del lago promises to be a musical revelation.

A superlative British cast brings to life this under-appreciated gem, a unique tribute both to the nation’s monarch and to its greatest opera composer. Gloriana marks three major anniversaries: 60 years since the Queen’s Coronation, 60 years since the opera’s premiere at the Royal Opera House, and the centenary of Benjamin Britten’s birth.

Luna Palace Cinemas in association with Sharmill Films presents a unique cinematic event exclusive to  Cinema Paradiso & Luna on SX  which transforms the way you look at art!

	EXHIBITION: Munch 150 Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 July at 1.00pm Cinema Paradiso + Luna on SX. 1hr 30 mins This year, all of Norway celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944), one of the towering figures of modern art.  Munch 150, co-hosted by the National Museum and the Munch Museum (both in Oslo), is already being hailed a “once-in-a-lifetime show”.  The cinema event will be going behind-the-scenes to show some of the process of putting the exhibition together — as well as touring Norway to provide an in-depth biography of a man who lived from the mid-19th century right through to the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War. Norwegian and international guests will also offer their expert insight and knowledge to host Tim Marlow. Munch 150: A superb show and a fantastic cinema event.
	EXHIBITION: Vermeer and Music:  The Art of Love and Leisure Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 October at 1.00pm Cinema Paradiso + Luna on SX. 1hr 40 mins The National Gallery, London, is offering a major exhibition on one of the most startling and fascinating artists of all-time Johannes Vermeer, painter of the Girl with a Pearl Earring. Vermeer painted little more than 30 works that still exist, and the National Gallery has chosen to focus on his art in relation to music. Music was one of the most popular themes of Dutch painting and revealed an enormous amount about the sitter and the society. The cinema event goes beyond the exhibition to tell the entire story of Vermeer’s life and, in doing so we show in detail many other of the artist’s great works. The program will suit the wide audience who adore Vermeer’s work and who want both to see it in detail and to learn more about this mysterious, fascinating man.
