Event Description
The world’s greatest cinema organist is coming back to his alma mater to perform the masterpiece that started his illustrious career! Make your Halloween come alive with one of the most unique theatrical events at IU Auditorium as Dennis James provides live accompaniment to the playfully spooky 1925 silent film The Phantom of the Opera.
With his virtuosic organ and theremin artistry, James has built his reputation as the most acclaimed film accompanist, using musical instruments and electronic sound effects to enhance the thrill of silent films.
The Phantom of the Opera shadows a tragic love story that will enchant and haunt the heart. The film takes place in a Paris opera house, where a mysterious phantom terrorizes its occupants. His lust for terror turns to a lust for love as he falls for the young Christine Daaé, a chorus girl. Forcing the prima donna Carlotta out of the limelight, he launches the stardom of his new affliction—wreaking havoc in hopes of winning Christine's affection.
Catch this one-of-a-kind Bloomington tradition this October.
