Rare screening of The Phantom of the Opera, the 1925 American silent horror adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s novel of the same name, directed by Rupert Julian and starring Lon Chaney in the title role as the deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star. The film remains most famous for Chaney’s ghastly, self-devised make-up, which was kept a studio secret until the film’s premiere. The screening will be live-scored with a performance featuring new work by Paris 1919, the musical collective of celebrated composer Chris Strouth and select Twin Cities musicians, including Natalie Nowytski (a classically-trained vocalist-turned-folk music geek who sings in 50+ languages and 12+ distinct vocal styles), guitarist Kent Militzer, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Russ. Strouth’s work has been described as “aggressively ambient,” and this new composition promises to be a fine cocktail to accompany this iconic film.
