About
A Silent Film Night turns the historic church into a cinematic space of drama and suspense with the 1925 silent classic The Phantom of the Opera. The film is brought to life through live organ accompaniment on the renowned Klais organ. Internationally acclaimed organist Aaron Hawthorne provides an immersive, real-time score echoing every mood shift from delicate tension to dramatic intensity. Doors open early for guests to enjoy the church's stunning architecture and pre-show atmosphere.

Critics
7.3Very good
Critics praise Lon Chaney's haunting performance and makeup, the Gothic atmosphere and striking visuals like the masquerade. They fault slow, dragging pacing, melodramatic acting, and clunky storytelling that keeps the film short of greatness.
