Film screening

This event has passed.

Halloween, Hitchcock and a live orchestra.

Step into the ultimate Halloween experience as Psycho takes over the big screen, with Bernard Herrmann’s iconic, spine-tingling score performed live by the Orchestra of Opera North. This isn’t just a screening, it’s a one-night-only cinematic and musical experience, where every note from the orchestra heightens the suspense.

Dare to check in at the Bates Motel this Halloween and witness Hitchcock’s masterpiece like never before: a cult thriller reimagined with the power of a real orchestra.

Psycho redefined what a thriller could be. The story begins with Marion Crane, a woman on the run after making a desperate decision. When a storm forces her to stop at the remote Bates Motel, she meets the shy but courteous manager, Norman Bates. What follows is a masterfully crafted descent into tension, secrets and terror that has captivated audiences for over six decades.

With its haunting score and unforgettable twists, Psycho remains one of the most influential thrillers in cinematic history, and is listed among the Top 5 Greatest Film Scores of All Time, according to the American Film Institute.

Also feel free to join us in Kino bar for the pre and post-performance Psycho-themed Halloween Party, featuring the legendary DJ Newlyn, spooky themes and perhaps even some fancy dress.

 

Wondering where to sit for the best experience? The Orchestra of Opera North will be in the pit and the screen will be on the stage of the Leeds Grand Theatre.

  • Get a bird’s eye view of all the action with a seat in the Upper Circle or Balconies where the orchestra and cinema screen can be seen in all their majestic glory.
  • Get closer to the action by sitting in the Stalls or the Dress Circle. Be closer to the big screen and the sounds of the orchestra here, although a view of the orchestra may be limited or not available.
