Celebrate the 100th anniversary of one of silent cinema’s greatest masterpieces as Faust!!

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of one of silent cinema’s greatest masterpieces as Faust (1926) returns to the big screen at the historic Orpheum Theatre.

Directed by F. W. Murnau, Faust tells the timeless story of an aging scholar who makes a bargain with the devil in exchange for youth, power, and earthly pleasures. Featuring stunning visuals, groundbreaking special effects, and unforgettable imagery, the film remains one of the most influential achievements of the silent era.

This special centennial screening features a live original score by Phoenix-based Mysterium Quartet, making their sixth appearance at the Orpheum Theatre since 2022. Known for their innovative approach to silent film accompaniment, the ensemble blends classical artistry with contemporary influences to create immersive musical experiences that bring classic films to life for modern audiences.

Presented by the Friends of the Orpheum Theatre, this special centennial event offers a rare opportunity to experience a landmark film as it was meant to be seen—on the big screen, accompanied by live music in one of the Southwest’s most beautiful movie palaces.

Experience the magic of silent cinema one hundred years after its premiere.

All proceeds benefit the historic Orpheum Theatre.
