Silent Film with Live Organ Accompaniment
The Phantom of the Opera
– St Mary’s Church
Experience the spine-tingling chills of the silent horror classic heightened by an electrifying live organ score, and thrill with suspense just as audiences did a hundred years ago.
The historic St Mary’s Church in Hay-on-Wye provides the atmospheric setting for this unique and immersive screening of The Phantom of the Opera, while organist and composer Father Richard Williams, former vicar of the church, provides a soaring live accompaniment on the Bevington Organ.
The film was first released in 1925, starring Lon Chaney as the phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star.
