High Culture on the big screen at Multikino: Theatre Premieres of 2025
Contemporary cinema goes beyond just classic films. In the offering of the Multikino cinema chain, audiences can also find theatre performances that, thanks to modern technology, make it to the big screen. This is an amazing opportunity to experience performances from the world's biggest stages in one of the most comfortable ways possible – in a cinema seat, without the need to travel abroad. Since the beginning of 2025, Multikino has been screening productions from National Theatre Live and Royal Opera House, which attract crowds of viewers eager for exceptional artistic experiences.
Theatre on the Big Screen – Why It's Worth It?
Theatre performances in cinemas are a great option for those who want to combine the comfort of watching with access to high culture. Watching theatre on the big screen not only gives us the chance to see the best plays from London, Paris, or Verona but also experience them in FullHD or 4K quality. The recording of the performance by professional cameras allows every detail to be captured, which might otherwise be missed during a live show. Viewers can follow the smallest movements of the actors, their facial expressions, and gestures, which enhances the emotional experience. Additionally, the camera continuously follows the characters, capturing those exceptional moments that a traditional theatre audience might miss. The breaks between acts are also well utilized – camera operators take us backstage, showing the emotions and preparations of the artists, giving us a better understanding of daily life in the theatre.
The Latest Theatre Premieres at Multikino
At the beginning of 2025, viewers have a unique opportunity to see the premiere performances that are part of the National Theatre Live cycle. It is one of the most popular programs that has been connecting theatre with cinema for years.

Educational and Artistic Value
An added benefit of watching theatre performances in cinemas is the educational aspect. By watching productions in English, viewers have an opportunity to learn and improve their language skills. It is a unique chance to encounter an authentic British accent. Thanks to the presence of Polish subtitles, even those who do not know English can fully understand the performance.
