The Phantom of the Opera (1925) with Live Score by Invincible Czars
1925, Not rated, 93 min. Directed by Rupert Julian. Starring Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry.
Seriously, if you’ve never seen Nosferatu or The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari with a live soundtrack from musical maniacs Invincible Czars, do you really even silent cinema, bro? Well, time to make amends for your failures with the Austin premiere of their latest son et lumière experience, a brand-new score for Rupert Julian’s epic and sumptuous adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s tale of terror and madness in the Paris catacombs. Lon Chaney’s legendary performance as the Phantom finally gets the music of the night it deserves. – Richard Whittaker
