A spectacular multimedia work interweaves a screening of Rupert Julian’s dark and haunting 1925 film, The Phantom of the Opera, with live performance by chorus and chamber ensemble. Toronto-based composer Andrew Downing’s mesmerizing score returns by popular demand, offering new intensity and nuance to the cult-classic tale of gothic romance, lurking horror, and the unequaled power of music.
“[Rupert Julian’s The Phantom of the Opera] has two elements of genius: It creates beneath the opera one of the most grotesque places in the cinema, and Chaney’s performance transforms an absurd character into a haunting one.” – Roger Ebert, on the 1925 Silent Film.
