Four Salzburg Festival operas - including the new Don Carlo with Jonas Kaufmann - are to be shown FREE on an outdoor screen in Docklands.
The mini-fest is supported by Siemens, who have long experience staging similar big screen events in Salzburg itself.
'Siemens Festival Nights' runs from 30 August to 1 September at The Crystal, Royal Victoria Docks.
All screenings are free, but you need to pay a £5 reservation charge in advance. You can then swap this for a refreshment voucher when you arrive, or donate it to charity.
If it rains, the events will be held indoors.
