Orcas Center’s On-Screen line-up for 2023 brings a diverse sampling of the world’s best performers at the height of their careers —giving you the best seat in the house from the comfort of your own island!

• Saturday, Jan. 28 at 12 p.m.: Book of Dust from NT Live. Set 12 years before his epic His Dark Materials trilogy, this gripping adaptation revisits Phillip Pullman’s fantastical world in which waters are rising and storms are brewing. Two young people and their demons, with everything at stake, find themselves at the center of a terrifying manhunt. In their care is a tiny child called Lyra Belacqua, and in that child lies the fate of the future. As the waters rise around them, powerful adversaries conspire for mastery of Dust: salvation to some, the source of infinite corruption to others.

• Saturday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m.: Portrait of The Queen. Queen Elizabeth II was the most photographed, the most loved and talked about, spied upon, praised, criticized, popular woman on the planet. All over the globe and in every moment of her long life, that came to an end at the age of 96, people have always wanted to watch her through a peephole, discover new things about her, get to know her better, connect with her and understand her.

• Sunday, Feb. 5 at 12 p.m.: Fedora from The Met Opera. Umberto Giordano’s exhilarating drama returns to the Met repertory for the first time in 25 years.
