It’s your favorite Halloween tradition: LA Opera is bringing another beloved movie monster back to the big screen. The Phantom of the Opera had filmgoers fainting in their seats when it premiered in 1925, and a whole century later, it’s still delivering plenty of chills and thrills. Lon Chaney's unforgettable screen performance in the title role  is celebrated as one of the most iconic of all movie monsters.

Experience this silent film masterpiece with a thrilling performance of Roy Budd’s gloriously spooktacular soundtrack score, created decades after the film's premiere, performed live by the LA Opera Orchestra at the United Theatre on Broadway.
