Sounds of Silents gets into the spooky season with another classic fright complete with a brand new live score from Alyssa Murray and Adam Schlozman!
A vengeful, masked composer (Lon Chaney) prowls the depths of the Paris Opera House, appearing only when his love for the beautiful young singer Christine (Mary Philbin) can be stifled no longer. Lon Chaney, "the Man of a Thousand Faces," created one of his most iconic and haunting performances in this hugely influential gothic melodrama. Restored by Film Preservation Associates and featuring the original tints and Technicolor of the 1929 theatrical version, as well as the meticulously hand-colored sequences that reproduce the Handschiegl Color Process.
