FILMusic: The Phantom of the Opera
Book NowJoin us this All Hallows’ Eve weekend for a special screening of American silent horror film classic, The Phantom of the Opera – including live music by organist Darius Battiwalla.
An adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra – directed by Rupert Julian and starring Lon Chaney in the title role – it tells of the deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star. The film remains most famous for Chaney’s ghastly, self-devised make-up, which was kept a studio secret until the film’s premiere on 15 November 1925.
