Phantom of the Opera with Live Accompaniment by Peter Krasinski

Internationally acclaimed accompanist Peter Krasinski returns to the Great Hall this Halloween season for two unique performances featuring live improvised accompaniment to classic black-and-white silent films: 'Phantom of the Opera' (Sunday, Oct. 26) and 'Metropolis' (Monday, Oct. 27 Krasinski will perform on John Hays Hammond Jr.’s original Chickering & Sons piano, filling the soaring acoustics of the Great Hall with an unforgettable blend of history, music, and cinematic magic.
Each evening features a different film, making this a rare opportunity to experience silent cinema brought vividly to life in one of the most atmospheric settings on the North Shore.
About 'The Phantom of The Opera'
Horror icon Lon Chaney, known as “The Man of 1,000 Faces,” plays the frightful titular character in this spectacular (but legendarily troubled) production, adapting Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel about a deformed organist who lurks about the Paris Opera House, smitten by a beautiful singer (Mary Philbin). While the film is in black-and-white, various scenes are tinted to convey various moods, and the haunting “Bal Masqué” scene was highlighted by using an early 2-strip Technicolor process.
Runtime: Approximately 93 minutes.

Doors open at 6:30 pm, and the program begins at 7 pm. There is no assigned seating. Light refreshments will be available for purchase. Parking is free.
