Did you know that you can see grand operas, classic films, world-renowned theater and stadium-filling concerts all in a single Toledo location? Thanks to Fathom Events, that hot spot is the movie theater nearest you.
Since 2013, Fathom Events have been broadcasted to movie theaters across the country. If you can’t get to San Francisco to see ballet or London to watch Roger Waters, you can just hop over to the Franklin Park or Fallen Timbers movie theaters and watch them broadcast on the big screen. All kinds of entertainment, from boxing matches to Broadway productions, have been screened for movie-goers, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to see them.
This month has a lot in store from Fathom Events. Here are a few highlights:
Finding Noah — As a true testament to the varied and exclusive Fathom events, Finding Noah will make its way to theaters for one night only. The documentary is about a group of scientists and explorers who filmed themselves taking a journey to Mount Ararat, the mountain that has recently become known as the possible real-life resting place of Noah’s Ark. This journey into biblical history will be followed by an exclusive panel discussion with the filmmakers, to be broadcasted after the movie. 7pm on Thursday, October 8. $12.50.
Othello — To celebrate the 10th anniversary of broadcasting live HD performances, The New York Metropolitan Opera will present a special performance of Othello. The met had previously won Emmy awards for their The Met: Live in HD series, and has partnered with Fathom Events to allow more people to see these spectacular performances. However, this will not be a performance of Shakespeare’s classic tale of love and betrayal, instead, it will be a performance of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera based on the play. Spend a little to see an otherwise expensive operatic experience in the comfort of your local movie theater. 12:55pm on Saturday, October 17. $25.
Dracula Double Feature — There is no better way to kick-off Halloween than watching a creepy double feature of one of the most iconic horror stories ever told. Go back in time to relive the fear of Dracula. Bela Lugosi will forever be known as one of the greatest actors of his generation— and his role of Count Dracula is a sterling example. The story of the dastardly vampiric count, his enthralled assistant Renfield, and his nemesis Van Helsing will be presented in its original, Lugosi-starring version. The second screening in this double feature will be the Spanish version of Dracula, which has a completely different cast and was shot on the same sets as Lugosi’s film, but during the night after the English production was done for the day. 2pm & 7pm on Sunday, October 25 & Wednesday, October 28. $7.90.
Franklin Park 16, 5001 Monroe St.
Fallen Timbers 14,
2300 Village Drive West, Maumee.
