"The Phantom of the Opera" Film Screening

"The Phantom of the Opera": Film Screening With Live Musical Accompaniment

Perhaps the most faithful adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel "The Phantom of the Opera", this landmark of silent horror films stars Lon Chaney in the title role (and in his most shocking makeup). As the masked Erik, he haunts the Paris Opera House and becomes obsessed with chorus girl Christine (played by Mary Philbin), using increasingly ruthless measures to make her a star and his lover. Get ready for vintage chills and thrills as this 1925 classic returns to the big screen at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre. The screening features a live musical performance of the original score, as well as a post-show discussion with Chaney's great-grandson Ron.
