A visually astonishing film which shocked audiences across the world on its release; some patrons even fainted at the terrifying moment when Christine rips off the phantom’s mask.

Harp score specially composed and performed by internationally acclaimed harpist, Elizabeth Jane Baldry. "The music and its playing were daring and inventive, and the great round of applause that she received at the end of the performance was testament to how much Elizabeth-Jane had enhanced people’s enjoyment of this silent master, with her varied layers of interpretation, and her witty and inventive performance.”– film critic Anthony Davies’s review of the London premiere of the new harp score.

Drinks served from 6pm onwards. Donations welcomed Film starts at 7pm
