The Siemen’s Crystal in the Royal Docks will hold the Siemens Festival Nights featuring popular operatic masterpieces from Giuseppe Verdi and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Falstaff, La Traviata, Don Carlo and The Magic Flute - all shown on a big screen.
The festival kicks off with the first showing of the world-renowned Salzburg Festival at 7pm on Friday August 30.
