The Phantom of the Opera

Il Fantasma dell’Opera

Taormina Congress Hall (Sala B), Saturday 17 September 2022 @ 21.30 pm

 

A  1925 film with live musical accompaniment by the The Brass Group

Production: Taormina Arte Sicilia Foundation
Music by Diego Spitaleri and Fabio Lannino

Organic:

Lon Chaney in The Phantom of Opera By Movie still scan, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=2545229

Antonino Saladino – Cello

Fabio Lannino – double bass, guitar
Ciccio Foresta – Marimba

The Phantom of the Opera is a silent horror film adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, directed by Rupert Julian and starring Lon Chaney in the title role of the deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star. The film remains most famous for Chaney’s ghastly, self-devised make-up, which was kept a studio secret until the film’s premiere.
A make-up that is disturbing even today.
