About this Event
Experience the haunting grandeur of Lon Chaney's legendary 1925 silent masterpiece, The Phantom of the Opera, as it was meant to be seen: on the big screen with live organ accompaniment.
This All Hallows we bring together two historic treasures at St Katharine Cree: the timeless tale of mystery and obsession at the Paris Opera House, and the soaring sounds of our magnificent 1686 Father Smith organ, once played by Purcell and Handel.
Join us in the splendour of this beautiful Jacobean church for an unforgettable cinematic experience. Chaney's iconic performance and groundbreaking makeup remain as startling today as when audiences first gasped at the unmasking scene a century ago.
Perfect for lovers of cinema, live music, and atmospheric storytelling in a truly special setting. A cultural event in the City not to be missed.
Our performer for the evening is noted cinema organist David Ivory, who has been accompanying Phantom of the Opera on the organ for more than fifty years.
There will be an Overture performed on the organ before the showing begins and an introduction to the evening for newcomers to silent cinema. Doors open at 7pm. Overture at 7:30pm with film showing directly after. Run time of 92 mins. Film rated PG. No under 12s.
A licensed bar will be available from 7pm.
We are sorry that there is no disabled toilet available.
All proceeds support St Katharine Cree's ministry and maintenance.
