Dayton Opera hosts film preview tonight
BEAVERCREEK — Dayton Opera spokesman Chuck Duritsch says that about 50 seats have been made available to the general public for a preview screening this evening, Aug. 26, of the independent film “The Streetsweeper” at Regal 20 Cinemas at Fairfield Commons.
The 7 p.m. showing, presented by Dayton Opera as a special event for its season subscribers, will be followed by a talk by the film’s writer and director, James Hill.
Hill agreed this week to open the event to nonsubscribers as well.
The R-rated film, scheduled for wide release in February 2009, tells the story of Enzo Morelli, a former opera singer who gave up a promising stage career to support his family as a streetsweeper.
According to the film’s promotional material, the film opens as Enzo is arranging the final payment on his son’s tuition at Harvard — keeping a promise made to his late wife. Meanwhile, the son thinks he attended the prestigious college on a scholarship and comes home with an attitude and a rich girlfriend.
Remaining seats to this evening’s screening will be filled first-come, first-served.
