A fantastical collision of sight and sound awaits in this imaginative presentation of vintage cinema. A big-screen showing of the 1931 film of Mary Shelley’s classic novel “Frankenstein” starring Boris Karloff is given a lush and vibrant score composed by Michael Shapiro and performed by a quintet of singers and The Atlanta Opera orchestra for an entertaining evening at the theater. Come in costume and enjoy the fun as Frankenstein’s monster comes alive in a whole new way next Halloween!

We're back for our hugely popular annual Halloween mash-up of film and opera at the Theatre at Ace Hotel. This time we’ve got the Boris Karloff shocker on the big screen, complete with mad scientist, bumbling henchman and mob of torch-bearing villagers.  This 1931 masterpiece of horror was originally released without a musical score, which inspired composer Michael Shapiro to fill in the void by creating an original new soundtrack. As the classic film plays on the big screen, he'll conduct his gorgeous and atmospheric score, performed live by the LA Opera Orchestra, making this the ultimate audience experience for a truly iconic film.
