Silent Film:

Step into the shadows of The Grand and experience the magic of silent cinema as it was meant to be seen—and heard. Before digital sound and special effects, silent film stars captivated audiences with nothing more than expression, movement, and music—bringing to life unforgettable stories of romance, comedy, adventure, and horror. Continuing a beloved Halloween tradition, pianist Rob Landes returns with his one-of-a-kind evening of bringing the 1925 Universal Pictures masterpiece The Phantom of The Opera to life. This beloved film relies entirely on visual acting, English intertitles (subtitles), and its unique musical score. The Phantom of The Opera is highly celebrated for its gothic atmosphere and actor Lon Chaney’s groundbreaking, self-applied horror makeup. Experience the magic as Landes’ live accompaniment breathes new life into this suspenseful masterpiece.
