Live Music by Alloy Orchestra

World-renowned Alloy Orchestra brings two cinema classics to life with live musical accompaniment.


Blackmail
7:00 pm Monday, April 25

Here’s a new print of the rarely seen silent version of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1929 Blackmail, with a new score composed and performed by world-renowned Alloy Orchestra. This early Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece displays the reasons he’s earned the moniker “Master of Suspense.”

The Phantom of the Opera
9:15 pm, Monday, April 25

The grotesque and the ravishing coexist in this gothic horror classic. Lon Chaney’s tormented Phantom plays Svengali to the ambitious but terribly naive Christine. The original color processes have been painstakingly restored, spotlighting the 1925 film’s spectacular sets and photography.

Cost: $15, $20
