The Phantom of the Opera with Live Organ Accompaniment

with Ed Norman, organ

What better way to celebrate Halloween than a rare screening of the 1925 silent horror film, The Phantom of the Opera? Experience this silent film with LIVE accompaniment, improvised in real-time on the massive 5,018-pipe Casavant organ at Knox United Church. It is one of the largest pipe organs in Canada!

With British concert organist and improviser Ed Norman at the console, this is one spooky event not to be missed. A special treat for music and movie lovers!

The Phantom of the Opera is a 1925 American silent horror film starring Lon Chaney in the title role of the deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star.

Live organ accompaniments used to be common at the movies. And just like in the old days, Mr. Norman will play and improvise non-stop during the entire film.
