For Filipino culture lovers who dream of seeing opera at the Royal Opera House or ballet at London’s Royal Ballet Theatre, there’s no need to book a flight—CineArts Season 2 is bringing the world’s best performances straight to the Philippines.
Presented by Robinsons Movieworld’s Premier Cinemas, in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing, the series returns to Opus VIP Cinema and NUSTAR VIP Cinema for another season of cinematic high culture. From September 2025 to June 2026, audiences can enjoy a stunning lineup of opera, ballet, and concert films in a luxurious movie theater setting.
A New Way to Experience Culture
After the success of its debut season, CineArts raises the bar by giving Filipinos a front-row seat to internationally acclaimed productions—without leaving the country. Every screening is enhanced by state-of-the-art visuals, immersive sound, and the comfort of VIP cinemas.
“Through CineArts, we aim to redefine the cinema-going experience by offering content that caters to diverse audiences, including those with an appreciation for art and culture,” shares Bomboy Lim, General Manager of Robinsons Movieworld. He adds that the program is all about making world-class performances more accessible to Filipinos.

With tickets starting at ₱900, CineArts makes it possible to enjoy performances that would otherwise require traveling to the world’s most prestigious theaters.
Opera and ballet may seem intimidating at first, but they are a vital part of global culture—just as important as K-dramas or local theater productions. Bringing these shows to the Philippines helps expand cultural experiences, especially for audiences who may not have access to them abroad.
CineArts isn’t just entertainment—it’s a chance to see stories, music, and artistry that have stood the test of time. Whether you’re a longtime art lover or someone curious to try something new, this season promises unforgettable nights at the cinema.
From Bocelli’s powerful voice to the magic of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, CineArts 2025–2026 is an invitation to immerse yourself in performances that shape the world of art. If you’re ready to experience something beyond the usual movie night, this is your chance.
Screenings happen every Tuesday at Opus and NUSTAR VIP Cinemas.
