Superior St. 419-242-3490. valentinetheatre.com 

Hear an aria and eat popcorn at Cinemark
For Toledoans, getting to see the grand and imaginative productions of the Metropolitan Opera once required a trip to New York and costly tickets. Now area folks need only make a trip to Franklin Park or Fallen Timbers, as Cinemark regularly presents screenings of productions from the Met. This month will see screenings of the Met’s production of Massenet’s adaptation of Cinderella on Saturday, January 1 and Wednesday, January 5. Then, Verdi’s Rigoletto will be shown on Saturday, January 29 and Wednesday, February 2. $25. For more information and showtimes, visit cinemark.com.
