On September 14, the Cleveland Silent Film Festival and Colloquium marks the centennial of a landmark in cinema history: The Phantom of the Opera (1925). This special screening features the film accompanied by its original score, performed live by American Musical Productions’ 18-piece orchestra under the baton of conductor Joseph Rubin.
Lon Chaney’s performance as the phantom still captivates a century later, while the music of the original 1925 orchestral score brings the gothic grandeur of Gaston Leroux’s tale to life.
