Join us for a one of a kind celebration marking 100 years of one of the greatest silent films ever made: The Phantom of the Opera (1925), brought to life with a mesmerising live soundtrack by the renowned quartet Minima.

Featuring the incomparable Lon Chaney, famously dubbed the "Man of a Thousand Faces," this atmospheric classic tells the haunting story of a mysterious figure lurking beneath the Paris Opera House, fuelled by obsession, vengeance, and a yearning for love. Enhanced with vivid tinted scenes and a rare Technicolor segment, the film remains a landmark of early cinema.

Minima, known for their compelling modern scores to silent film, will perform live on stage, blending a mix of instruments to create an intense, immersive soundscape. With past performances at esteemed locations including BFI Southbank, Glastonbury Festival, and the Barbican Centre, their interpretations bring fresh intensity to early cinema's most evocative images.

Don't miss this unique chance to experience The Phantom of the Opera the way it was originally intended: on the big screen, elevated by a gripping live score that captures every shadow and twist of this gothic tale.
