Clevedon's Curzon Cinema will reopen on Monday.

After having been open for only four weeks over the past 12 months, the staff, trustees and volunteers are looking forward to opening the doors once again to share the love of film and culture with Clevedon and beyond.

Covid-safety measures remain in place and social distancing means seat numbers are greatly reduced, so booking is advisable either online or by calling 01275 871000.

Here is what you can expect from the cinema this month.

The Three Tenors: Voices for Eternity

A special screening of The Three Tenors: Voices for Eternity will be shown at 7.30pm on May 19.

It has been 30 years since Luciano Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo made their historic debut as The Three Tenors at the ancient baths of Caracalla on the eve of the 1990 Football World Cup Final.

Three Tenors: Voices for Eternity celebrates the emotional highlights of that first concert and the sequel in Los Angeles. With brand new interviews and never-before-seen backstage footage, this documentary offers a fascinating insight into the rivalries and friendships of the legendary opera stars from 1990 through to Pavarotti’s passing in 2007.
