The Phantom of the Opera with live DJ score
PRESENTED BY FED SQUARE, SUPPORTED BY INSITE ARTS
Presented as part of Silent Cinema with Live Scores, catch the 1925 horror The Phantom of the Opera on the Big Screen, with live original DJ score.
A treat for music-lovers and cinephiles alike, Silent Cinema with Lives Scores continues to be the best-kept secret of Open Air at the Square.
For the second night of our weeklong curated program of silent cinema concerts is The Phantom of the Opera – the 1925 film adaptation of French writer Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel.
Celebrated as one of the finest silent horror films, and featuring a transformative performance by “The Man of a Thousand Faces” Lon Chaney as the Phantom, the film follows the tale of a mysterious figure who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing chaos and attempting to make the women he loves, Christine Daae (Mary Philbin), a star of the opera.
Bring a picnic blanket or settle into a deckchair, and journey with us through the history of silent cinema, with a weeklong program exploring the fantastic and the phantasmic – brought once again to life, with reimagined soundscapes.
DJ to perform coming soon.
Dir. Rupert Julian, Lon Chaney, Ernst Laemmie, Edward Sedgwick | 1918 | 1hr 24 mins | USA | English
