Silent Film Series: The Phantom of the Opera

In the spirit of the season, join New Mexico Museum of Art for a free screening of “The Phantom of the Opera” (1925) for our Silent Film Series. Based on Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel and directed by Rupert Julian, this film stars silent horror film icon Lon Chaney as the ghastly Phantom who lurks the halls and catacombs of the famous Paris Opera House. Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry also star in this silent horror film classic. The screening takes place in St. Francis Auditorium with accompaniment by organist David Solem on the McNary Pipe Organ.
