take a roman holiday Edmonton Opera presents Willian Wilder’s Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck tonight at Metro Cinema. There may be some free tickets still available: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/roman-holiday-screening-presented-by-edmonton-opera-free-event-tickets-29034619328#tickets How special to see this charming film on a big screen rather than on your tablet. Embrace the 1950’s aesthetic of the film in anticipation of the Opera’s 1950’s-era production of Cinderella (February 4, 7 and 9). Dress in your finest vintage and you may win tix to the performance.
