Due to overwhelming demand, we are offering both a matinee and evening performance this year, PLUS a special VIP lecture on recreating the original score to Nosferatu and the role of music in silent film.
Experience the 1922 silent film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror with a live performance of the original score for theater orchestra at Cinema Salem. Arpeggione will be performing on historical instruments from the early 20th century, including harmonium, flute, clarinet, and strings.
From the eerily corpse-like appearance of Max Schreck as Orlok to the oft parodied staircase camera shot at the film’s climax, Nosferatu set the standard for the modern horror film as well as the genre of vampire films. As the earliest adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula for film, Nosferatu is the source of several of the most enduring aspects of modern day vampire lore.
Fans of horror, music enthusiasts, vintage aficionados… see and hear Nosferatu as it would have sounded when it was first screened. Hurry– these tickets expire at dawn!
