Singin’ in the Rain

Gene Kelly is all wet — and singing and dancing his heart out in an all-time favorite film scene.

Relive the classic moment when “Singin’ in the Rain” plays again in four Top of Utah theaters Thursday, July 12, to celebrate its 60th anniversary. The broadcast includes an interview with Debbie Reynolds, who played Kathy Selden in the 1952 film that also starred Kelly and Donald O’ Connor.

Robert Osborne of Turner Classic Movies will host the event, which airs at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. In addition to the title song, the musical’s memorable tunes include “Fit As a Fiddle,” “Make ’Em Laugh,” “All I Do Is Dream of You,” “Moses Supposes,” “Good Morning” and “You Are My Lucky Star.”

Tickets are $10.50-$11.50 for adults, $9.50-$10.50 for students and seniors, and $8.50-$9.50 for children, depending on the theater visited.

If opera is more your style, “Les Contes D’Hoffmann” continues the summer encore series of “The Met: Live in HD” program featuring the Metropolitan Opera.

The fictionalized take on the life and loves of writer E.T.A. Hoffmann plays at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 11, with singers Joseph Calleja and Anna Netreboko.

Admission is $6-$14 for adults, $4-$13 for students and seniors, and $4-$12 for children.

Both events will be at Newgate Tinseltown, 3651 Wall Ave., Ogden; Layton Tinseltown, 720 W. 1500 North; Cinemark Farmington, 900 W. Clark Lane; and Cinemark Bountiful 8, 206 S. 625 West.
