The Phantom of the Opera (1925) With Live Score

Alamo Drafthouse is proud to present the return of an annual Halloween tradition – a silent classic featuring a live score by Invincible Czars.

About the music: The live accompaniment experience marries the old-world charm of silent film with a contemporary electricity, engaging multi-generational audiences. Their score is performed by a five-member touring ensemble using violin, flute, bass clarinet, oboe, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano, organ, glockenspiel, music box, drums, percussion, samples, and loops. From delicate passages of longing and love to menacing motifs of dissonant horror and pain, each instrument plays a critical role in establishing character themes and creating an aural dreamscape for the film.

About the movie: Aspiring young opera singer Christine Daaé discovers that she has a mysterious admirer intent on helping her become a lead performer. This enigmatic masked presence is Erik, also known as the Phantom, a horribly disfigured recluse who lives underneath the Paris Opera House. When the Phantom takes Christine prisoner and demands her devotion and affection, her suitor, Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, sets out to rescue her.

I am sitting in Row 9/Seat 7. Note tickets are a little pricey at $29.22 ($25 ticket, $1.99 service fee and $2.23 tax) but this is an experience worth paying for! Get tickets soon as theatre is almost half sold out.
