It’s been a long old five months of nothing to do, nowhere to go and nowt to see, but luckily for us the Regal Picturehouse has opened it’s doors and is not only showing brand new movie releases such as the long awaited Christopher Nolan’s Tenet but also some great National Theatre Live performances, classical concerts, documentaries and Olivier Award winning ballet!

We may not have our theatre back open yet but it doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy live theatre and music.

Keep up to date with everything that’s happening in and around Henley on our What’s On Page

Jonas Kaufmann My Vienna is a deeply personal tribute by the star tenor to the world-famous melodies from the birthplace of waltz and operetta. A must-see event for Jonas Kaufmann fans everywhere.

Filmed live in the magical setting of the Wiener Konzerthaus, the concert features popular Viennese music from Die Fledermaus and Wienerblut by Johann Strauss and Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow, plus many classic songs inspired by the city of Vienna.

As well as paying homage to Viennese music on stage, My Vienna will see Kaufmann visit stunning areas of the Austrian capital, such as the Wiener Prater, the taverns of Grinzing and the Viennese Central Cemetery to explore the culture and pride of the Viennese people, and discover the city’s historic connection to operetta melodies.

Jonas Kaufmann performs with the Prague Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Jochen Rieder and is joined by the internationally acclaimed soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen.

National Theatre Live: Fleabag (Encore) – 3rd September 2020

*It’s back!!*

See the award-winning one-woman show that inspired the hit BBC series.

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Broadchurch, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life.

Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

★★★★★ “Witty, filthy and supreme.” – The Guardian

This encore show is a recording of the performance broadcast live to cinemas on 12 September 2019 from London’s West End.

Filmed at night especially for the big screen, this private guided tour of the LEONARDO DA VINCI exhibition, designed and curated by the Louvre Museum, is a unique opportunity to contemplate the painter’s most beautiful works up close.

This major retrospective devoted to his entire career as a painter shows how Leonardo placed painting above all other disciplines, and how his investigation of the world –the“science of painting” as he called it –was the instrument of art whose supreme ambition was to give life to his works.

The insights provided by the exhibition curators during this private filmed visit offers a new understanding of Leonardo’s artistic practice and painting technique.
