Mozart premiered The Abduction from the Seraglio while a craze for all things Turkish, especially Turkish-style music, swept Western Europe. Constanze, a noble Spanish lady, her English servant Blondchen, and Pedrillo, the servant of Constanze’s fiancé Belmonte, have been abducted by Moorish pirates and handed over to the Pasha Selim, who imprisons them in his seraglio. Selim soon falls in love with Constanze, while Osmin, their coarse, cruel jailer, attempts to woo Blondchen. Building to a tense climax, this is a story of love and danger.

The film screens Sunday, May 27 at noon and Tuesday, May 29 at 7 p.m. Tickets for the opera are $22 general admission and $18 discounted for seniors, UM alumni, employees, and non-UM students. Free for UM students. To purchase tickets online or for more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.

In a large apartment high above the city lives our couple. They’re in love. She’s a painter, he’s a successful actor. It’s just a normal afternoon – except that this isn’t a normal afternoon, for them or anyone else. Because tomorrow at 4:44 a.m., the world will come to an end far more rapidly than even the worst doomsayer could have imagined. The final meltdown will come not without warning, but with no means of escape. There will be no survivors. As always, there are those who, as their last cigarette is being lit and the blindfold tightened, will still hope against hope for some kind of reprieve, for a miracle. Not our two lovers. They – like the majority of the Earth’s population – have accepted their fate: the world is going to end.

The film screens Friday, May 25 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, May 26 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, May 27 at 6 p.m. General admission is $9. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. Free for UM students.

Cosford Cinema Screening: Key Hole

After a long absence, gangster and father Ulysses Pick (Jason Patric) returns to a home haunted with memories, towing the body of a teenaged girl and a bound and gagged young man. His gang waits inside his house, having shot their way past police. Ulysses, however, is focused on one thing: journeying through the house, room by room, and reaching his wife Hyacinth (Isabella Rossellini) in her bedroom upstairs. The equilibrium of the house has been disturbed, and his odyssey eventually becomes an emotional tour as the ghostly nooks and crannies of the house reveal more about the mysterious Pick family.

The film screens Friday, May 25 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, May 26 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.; and Sunday, May 27 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. General admission is $9. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. Free for UM students.
