,Cinema 3
A scene from Arabella showing a group of men and women in 19th-century formal wear, standing in a grand ballroom

A romantic comedy opera about love and money, as a family faces financial ruin in the extravagant society of 19th-century Vienna.

Strauss’s elegant romance brings the glamour and enchantment of 19th-century Vienna to cinemas worldwide in a sumptuous production by legendary director Otto Schenk that 'is as beautiful as one could hope' (The New York Times). Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen stars as the title heroine, a young noblewoman in search of love on her own terms. Radiant soprano Louise Alder is her sister, Zdenka, and bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny is the dashing count who sweeps Arabella off her feet.
