Wanna come see a movie on us?

In anticipation of our Nixon in China opening on March 13, Vancouver Opera is hosting a series of Nixon in China related events.

You're invited to a screening of Oliver Stone's 1995 film, Nixon, at Vancity Theatre this Sunday, January 24.

The movie stars Anthony Hopkins as Nixon, Joan Allan as Pat Nixon, along with Hollywood heavy hitters such as James Woods, Paul Sorvino, Ed Harris, Bob Hoskins, Kevin Costner and Sam Waterston.

Nixon traces the political and personal life of the former US President.

Here are the deets:

12:30pm - Doors open. Pre-screening reception provided by Vancouver Opera Guild.

1:00pm - Introduction of movie by political scientist Dr. Paul Quirk, Phil Lind Chair in U.S. Politics at UBC

Admission is free and tickets are available at the door, but space is limited. Come early to avoid disappointment!
