The Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra<\/a> will screen the 1925 silent horror film \u201cThe Phantom of the Opera\u201d at Plymouth Church in Brooklyn Heights on Oct. 24, with live orchestral accompaniment. <\/p>\n

The two screenings, scheduled for 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., will feature a score performed by the orchestra alongside Plymouth Church\u2019s Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ, which has 4,162 pipes. <\/p>\n

The film<\/a> stars Lon Chaney Sr. as a disfigured composer who lives beneath the Paris Opera House and becomes obsessed with Christine, a young soprano whose career he attempts to control. <\/p>\n

The score, arranged by Rodney Sauer, draws from a collection of music once used in a silent movie theater in Colorado. The collection is now held at the American Music Research Center in Boulder. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a score that was heard on the first run of the movie, but it\u2019s a score that could have been heard,\u201d Sauer said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The performance will also feature Plymouth Church\u2019s historic organ built in 1937 and incorporating pipes from the church\u2019s original 1866 organ. <\/p>\n

Maestro Phil Nuzzo, artistic director and conductor of the Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra, said that the presentation gives audiences \u201ca rare opportunity to experience one of the great classics of silent film with a live orchestral score.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an ideal way to kick off Halloween week \u2014 melding the eerie narrative of the Phantom with the orchestra\u2019s powerful live performance,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis fusion of film and music will create an atmosphere that\u2019s both haunting and electrifying, setting the perfect tone for the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendees are welcome to wear Halloween costumes.<\/p>\n

The screenings will take place Saturday, Oct. 24, at Plymouth Church, located at 57 Orange St. in Brooklyn Heights.
