About The Event
On September 14, the Cleveland Silent Film Festival and Colloquium marks the centennial of a landmark in cinema history: The Phantom of the Opera (1925). This special screening features the film accompanied by its original score, performed live by American Musical Productions’ 18-piece orchestra under the baton of conductor Joseph Rubin.
Lon Chaney’s performance as the phantom still captivates a century later, while the music of the original 1925 orchestral score brings the gothic grandeur of Gaston Leroux’s tale to life.
More information about the Cleveland Silent Film Festival can be found on the organization’s website (opens in a new tab).
The views expressed by performers during this event are their own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
