A perennial hit with Ross audiences, Anvil Orchestra returns in 2026 to perform live accompaniment for THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED on Thursday, October 29 and UNDERWORLD on Friday, October 30. Both screenings begin at 7:30pm.Featuring musicians Terry Donahue (Alloy Orchestra, Concussion Ensemble) and Roger Clark Miller (Alloy Orchestra, Mission of Burma, Trinary System), The Anvil Orchestra – formerly The Alloy Orchestra – performs unique live musical accompaniment to silent films, transforming the viewing experience for audiences across the United States and abroad.
When The Adventures of Prince Achmed premiered to German audiences in 1926, it was hailed as the first full-length animated film. Taken from the tales known as the Arabian Nights, the film tells the story of a young prince tricked by a wicked sorcerer into mounting a magical, flying horse for a direct course to his own demise. Soaring headlong into a series of wondrous adventures, and joining forces with the likes of Aladdin and a fabled witch, the prince evades his fate by saving a beautiful princess and doing battle with the sorcerer’s army of monsters. Beautifully restored with color tinting, the thrilling, sensuous and dazzling Prince Achmed will amaze and enthrall audience of all ages.
