Encore: The Magic Flute

The Met made history in December 2006 when it presented its first Live in HD transmission to cinemas worldwide: the abridged English-language version of Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

About Us

Cape Cinema

Cape Cinema has been one of the premier destinations for entertainment on Cape Cod since 1930 and continues to be committed remaining such. While most of the website features upcoming events ranging from movies and theatrical performances to concerts and the ballet, this page can fill you in on some of the building history.

Cape Cinema has been entertaining locals of Dennis and the rest of Cape Cod, Massachusetts for nearly one hundred years. The building was constructed in 1930 and founded by Edna Tweeny and Raymond Moore just a couple years after the Cape Playhouse. The exterior of the cinema often confuses new guests who ask us how long the building has been a theater and when it stopped being a church. To the surprise of many, the building has always been a cinema.

"My husband and I very much enjoy Cape Cinema the atmosphere the staff awesome cookies herbal tea and of course the popcorn. Even if the movie didn't end up to our liking we still enjoy the cinema and staff."

"Such a cool place to see a movie, from the vintage, small-town atmosphere to the ceiling artwork. Every year, they always have a great selection of films, including many films that you can't see in the big movie theatre chains. My favorite place on Cape Cod to see a movie!"

"This theater is a historic landmark and local cultural treasure. They have a lot of hard to see foreign and alternate films. The telecast plays often seem of intetest, but good luck getting a ticket; they always seem to draw a big crowd."

"The Cape Cinema was and is my favorite movie theater. Besides Live opera from NYC and special movies it offers NT live Theater from London. So many treats in such a wonderful venue! Not to forget the many choices of snacks! May the theater continue to thrive."
