Read all about it on page 8 of the Harvard Independent: http://issuu.com/harvardindependent/docs/halloween10 May 2, 2010: The Phantom of the Opera 7pm Sunday, May 2 Sanders Theater Ever since its debut at the Astor Theater in New York City in 1925, The Phantom of the Opera has become a cinematic legend. Featuring one of Lon Chaney's greatest performances as the Phantom, the silent film haunted millions of viewers. The experience of seeing a movie was vastly different in that era, when films were often shown in concert halls with live musical accompaniment. Usually the accompaniment was just a piano, but in large metropolitan theaters like the Astor, a full orchestra would play the score. The Harvard Pops Orchestra is now giving moviegoers a rare opportunity to see the movie as its original audience did. As a part of Harvard's Arts First Festival, the orchestra will accompany the film with a newly arranged score by Rodney Sauer. In addition, the Pops will screenThe Voice of the Violin, a 1909 short film by D.W. Griffith, with an original score composed by music director Allen Feinstein. The screening will take place on Sunday, May 2, in Sanders Theater on the Harvard campus. Get your tickets ($12 general, $8 student/senior) from the Harvard Box Office, any orchestra member, or by emailingpops@hcs.harvard.edu. Read all about us in the Cambridge Chronicle!
