$Kilgen Theatre Organ Performance \u201cThe Phantom of the Opera\u201d (1925)$

The Oklahoma History Center is proud to announce the presentation of the 1925 silent movie classic “The Phantom of the Opera”, accompanied by world-recognized organist Chris Elliott. He will provide the background music and sound effects for this Halloween thriller. The Kilgen Theatre Organ performance will take place on Monday, November 17, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Elliott performed at the Oklahoma History Center in 2023 and provided the accompanying music and sound effects to the American western silent film The Mark of Zorro starring Douglas Fairbanks. Elliott is a prominent concert organist, equally at home performing literature of the church and theater. Elliott’s career has included extensive silent film accompaniment at venues including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Packard Foundation’s Stanford Theatre and the University of California, Los Angeles. Elliott was privileged to be mentored by several world-renowned organists and worked extensively with the “dean” of silent film accompaniment, Gaylord Carter. Elliott was named Organist of the Year by the American Theatre Organ Society in 2009.
