The Phantom of the Opera (1925) with live orchestra score | The Light cinema | Wed 5 November | 7.30pm

This is the original film version of The Phantom of the Opera - made in 1925 and celebrating its centenary this year. A dramatic tale of obsession, kidnap, murder and revenge, beautifully tinted throughout and featuring an impressive sequence of early Technicolor as the Phantom appears at a masked ball.

Minima are a four-piece group who have specialised in live accompaniment to screenings of silent films since 2006.

Their electrifying original score for The Phantom of the Opera captures the horror of the story, but also finds pathos, romance and humour. Drums, bass, guitar and cello strike up a thrilling relationship with the film, following the Phantom down into his subterranean nightmare world.

Find more information at https://www.minimamusic.co.uk/.

"Minima are one of the leading bands accompanying silent film in Europe." (Barbican Centre, London)

"Minima's spine-tingling music clung to each twist of the movie… spellbinding accompaniment." (The Guardian)

"Minima turned the 1925 Phantom of the Opera into an immersive and gripping emotional experience." (Swansea International Festival)
