There are unmissable opportunities, unique and unrepeatable events. This is the case of this special film screening organized at the Dubai Opera which presents - a more unique than rare case - one of the greatest and most precious cinema treasures of all time. We are talking about The Kid, a silent film made in 1921, written, produced, directed and starring Charlie Chaplin. The Kid was Chaplin's first feature film, and since its debut in theaters it has enjoyed enormous success with audiences and critics all over the world. Even today the film maintains its artistic value and poetry unchanged, so much so that it is considered one of the greatest masterpieces that Hollywood cinema has been able to express since the beginning of the history of cinema. The screening of the title will be enriched by the music of the Armenian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Timothy Brock who will perform the soundtrack live to accompany the poignant and magical story of love, resilience and humor that Charlie Chaplin gave to humanity.
