Join us for a Sing-A-Long Screening of Bohemian Rhapsody to celebrate what would have been the 80th birthday of the one and only Freddie Mercury.

Join us for a very special family screening of Disney’s beloved classic Dumbo as part of the Capri Theatre’s 85th Birthday Celebrations! Released in 1941 – the very same year the Capri first opened its doors – Dumbo has been delighting generations of children and families for more than eight decades with its timeless story of courage, friendship and discovering that the things that make us different can also make us extraordinary. Before the movie, experience one of the Capri’s most treasured traditions as the mighty WurliTzer theatre organ rises from beneath the stage to play the session in, just as it would have done for audiences in the cinema’s early years. Originally created by Walt Disney during animation’s golden age, Dumbo remains one of the studio’s most celebrated films. At just 64 minutes, it is one of Disney’s shortest animated features, yet it won an Academy Award for its musical score and gave the world the unforgettable song Baby Mine. In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in recognition of its cultural and historical significance. Whether you’re introducing your children to Dumbo for the very first time or reliving a cherished childhood favourite, this is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate two icons born in 1941 – a little flying elephant and Adelaide’s most magical cinema. Come and help us celebrate 85 years of movie-going memories at the Capri Theatre!

This highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life. Guided with interview, commentary and Frida’s own words, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN uncovers that this, however, was not a life defined by tragedy. Featuring key exhibitions and interviews with world-renowned Kahlo curators, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN explores the extraordinary symbolism and themes in these personal canvases to seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo. Using cinema to take an up-close and intimate look at her works we examine how great an artist she can be considered. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage. We might think we already know Frida Kahlo – the image of floral crowns, big brows and folk style clothing have made her a muse to generations – but what lies beneath the surface of this intensely passionate woman?

In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements”, “harmonies” and “nocturnes”, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work. His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler’s Mother, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art. Tate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works. Exhibition on Screen will bring these stunning works and the incredible story behind them to cinemas around the world while the exhibition is still running, bringing this truly global artist to a global audience. This will be an unmissable chance to get to know this visually spectacular artist and the influence he has had on those who followed.

The movie also holds a special place in Hollywood history. It was Grace Kelly's final film before she retired from acting to become Princess Grace of Monaco, making High Society a fitting farewell to one of cinema's greatest stars. The film introduced the timeless duet "True Love," performed by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly, which became a million-selling hit and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. Louis Armstrong doesn't simply provide the soundtrack—he appears throughout the film, bringing his trademark warmth, humour and world-class musicianship to every scene.

As part of the Capri Theatre's 85th Birthday Celebrations, step back to 1941 – the very year our beloved theatre first opened its doors – for a remarkable double feature showcasing two of the most influential films ever made: The Maltese Falcon and Citizen Kane. Released just months apart in 1941, these cinematic landmarks helped redefine what movies could be. The Maltese Falcon marked the directorial debut of legendary filmmaker John Huston and is widely regarded as one of the earliest and greatest film noirs ever made. The film transformed Humphrey Bogart from a supporting player into a bona fide Hollywood star, introducing audiences to the hard-boiled private detective Sam Spade and delivering one of cinema's most famous final lines: "The stuff that dreams are made of." Meanwhile, Citizen Kane was the astonishing first feature film by Orson Welles, who was just 25 years old when he co-wrote, directed, produced and starred in the film. Packed with groundbreaking visual techniques and storytelling innovations, it remains a regular fixture at the top of critics' lists of the greatest films ever made. Many of its cast members came from Welles' Mercury Theatre company, making the film as much a theatrical ensemble piece as a Hollywood production. The connections between these two classics run deeper than their shared release year. Both were extraordinary directorial debuts from young filmmakers who would go on to become giants of American cinema. Both challenged Hollywood conventions, pushed storytelling into new territory, and helped shape the future of filmmaking for generations to come. To make the evening even more special, the Capri's mighty WurliTzer theatre organ will play the audience into the session, just as theatre organs did during cinema's golden age. Following The Maltese Falcon, enjoy a 20-minute interval featuring another live WurliTzer performance before settling back for Orson Welles' masterpiece, Citizen Kane. Join us for a night of mystery, intrigue, innovation and nostalgia as we celebrate 85 years of the Capri with two films that were born in the same year as the theatre itself.

As the centrepiece of the Capri's 85th Birthday Weekend celebrations, experience one of the most influential horror films ever made as it was originally intended to be seen. Released in 1922, F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is widely regarded as the first great vampire movie and one of the most important films in cinema history. Created without permission from Bram Stoker's estate, the production narrowly escaped destruction following a copyright lawsuit, with only a handful of prints surviving. Thankfully, this haunting masterpiece lives on and continues to cast its spell over audiences more than a century later. For this special screening, the Capri's mighty WurliTzer theatre organ will return to its original purpose: providing a live musical soundtrack to a silent motion picture. Before recorded soundtracks became commonplace, theatre organs were known as "one-person orchestras", creating everything from sweeping romance to blood-curdling suspense in real time. To bring Nosferatu to life, we're flying acclaimed Brisbane-based theatre organist and silent film accompanist David Bailey to Adelaide for one night only. David is regarded as one of Australia's leading silent film accompanists, having performed extensively at theatres, festivals and concert venues around the country. His musical style draws heavily on the popular music of the early twentieth century, making him the perfect guide through the eerie world of Count Orlok. Capri audiences may remember David's unforgettable accompaniment to The Phantom of the Opera last year, which earned him a standing ovation from a delighted audience. His ability to synchronise every musical phrase with the action on screen transforms a silent film screening into a truly immersive live performance. Dark, atmospheric, suspenseful and surprisingly beautiful, Nosferatu remains one of cinema's greatest achievements. Combined with the power of the Capri's WurliTzer and the artistry of David Bailey, this promises to be a once-in-a-generation way to experience a genuine silent film classic. Join us for the main event of our 85th Birthday Weekend celebrations and discover why, after more than 100 years, Nosferatu still has audiences looking nervously over their shoulders.
