The Phantom of the Opera is one of the most celebrated of all American silent films and one which is still regularly screened today to enthusiastic audiences. The version of the story that you will see tonight is the first cinema adaptation, and was made in 1925. The key role of the Phantom himself was played by Lon Chaney, one of the silent cinema’s most successful and highly paid actors.
Dr Eric Sweeneys simultaneous masterful performance of the film score on organ uses melodic and dissonant themes to heighten the macabre atmosphere without upstaging the film, itself. Experience the savory melodrama, absorbing spectacle and horror that so startled and amazed audiences nearly eight-five years ago This screening of Phantom of the Opera should be a night to remember.
