From “Apache” to “Wonderful Land,” expect a masterful tribute to the band that set the template for modern guitar music—along with a selection of Cliff Richard favourites that perfectly complement the era.

Following the live performance, settle in for a screening of Summer Holiday—the feel-good classic that captures Cliff at his charming best. Bursting with sunshine, songs and a carefree sense of adventure, it’s the perfect cinematic companion to a relaxed Sunday afternoon steeped in nostalgia.

Whether you grew up with these sounds or are discovering them anew, this is a toe-tapping, memory-making afternoon that will have you humming all the way home.

Love Soul Deep + The Commitments
2026-11-07 19:00 - 22:30
Some bands are born. Others are built on sheer determination, a handful of borrowed instruments and an outrageous amount of soul.

Join Adelaide favourites Love Soul Deep as they bring the unforgettable soundtrack of The Commitments to life with a powerhouse live performance on the Capri stage, before the beloved Irish cult classic lights up the big screen.

Packed with timeless soul and R&B anthems including Mustang Sally, Try a Little Tenderness, Chain of Fools, Take Me to the River and In the Midnight Hour, this is a night made for singing along, clapping, and yes… dancing in the aisles.

Released in 1991 and directed by Alan Parker, The Commitments follows an ambitious young Dubliner determined to form “the world’s hardest-working soul band.” Based on Roddy Doyle’s bestselling novel, the film became an international hit thanks to its infectious humour, memorable characters and spectacular soundtrack. Remarkably, most of the cast were unknown actors and musicians when filming began, lending the performances an authenticity that has helped the film earn its enduring cult status.

Love Soul Deep have already proved this format is a winner. Their Blues Brothers event had the Capri audience on their feet, singing, dancing and demanding an encore. Now they’re back with another high-energy celebration of one of cinema’s greatest music movies.

Dust off your dancing shoes, warm up those vocal cords and gather your friends for an unforgettable night of live music, laughter and soul.

Home Alone - Kids Nostalgia Event
2026-12-13 14:00 - 16:15
This Christmas, we’re leaving Kevin Home Alone…and inviting everyone else to the Capri!

Join us on Sunday 13 December for a festive edition of our Kids’ Nostalgia series, featuring the Christmas classic that taught an entire generation never to underestimate an eight-year-old with a blowtorch, a paint tin and far too much time on his hands.

When Kevin McCallister is accidentally left behind while his family flies off for Christmas, he initially thinks his wish has come true: no parents, no siblings and all the ice cream he can eat. But when two spectacularly incompetent burglars target the McCallister home, Kevin turns it into the most dangerously decorated house in the neighbourhood.

Before Home Alone, we’ll screen a classic cartoon and a short silent comedy accompanied live by John Slater on the mighty WurliTzer theatre organ—complete with musical mayhem, perfectly timed to the action on screen.

It’s a wonderfully nostalgic Christmas outing for kids, parents and grown-ups who still wince whenever they see someone step on a nail.

Gather the family, book your seats and remember: “Keep the change, ya filthy animal!”

High Society - New Year's Eve
2026-12-31 20:00 - 23:59
Join us as we bid farewell to 2026 in true Hollywood style with the 70th Anniversary of the sparkling musical classic High Society.

Your evening begins with a complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival, followed by a special performance on the Mighty WurliTzer theatre organ. Host Peter Goers will then welcome everyone before we take a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of cinema with a classic cartoon and vintage footage celebrating two of the film’s legendary stars, Grace Kelly and Louis Armstrong.

After a 20-minute interval to stretch your legs and top up your refreshments, settle in for High Society (1956), the glamorous musical remake of The Philadelphia Story. Starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra, and featuring the incomparable Louis Armstrong and his band, the film is filled with wit, romance and unforgettable songs by Cole Porter.

The movie also holds a special place in Hollywood history. It was Grace Kelly’s final film before she retired from acting to become Princess Grace of Monaco, making High Society a fitting farewell to one of cinema’s greatest stars. The film introduced the timeless duet “True Love,” performed by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly, which became a million-selling hit and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. Louis Armstrong doesn’t simply provide the soundtrack—he appears throughout the film, bringing his trademark warmth, humour and world-class musicianship to every scene.

As midnight approaches, we’ll draw our raffle, recharge our glasses with another complimentary drink, and count down together while watching the spectacular Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks on the big screen to welcome 2027 in the company of fellow movie lovers.

It’s an elegant, relaxed and uniquely Capri way to celebrate the New Year—complete with Hollywood legends, live theatre organ music, plenty of bubbles, and memories you’ll treasure long after the clock strikes twelve.
