Halloween is the perfect time for a little gothic horror, and Walt Disney Concert Hall is bringing a cinematic classic back to life with a live musical performance this October 31.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic will present Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the 1920 silent horror film starring John Barrymore, accompanied by renowned organist Clark Wilson.
A classic horror film with a haunting live score
Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novella, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde follows a scientist whose experiments unleash his sinister alter ego. The 1920 adaptation, directed by John S. Robertson, remains a landmark of early horror cinema.
Wilson, one of America’s leading silent-film accompanists, will perform a live score as the film unfolds, adding an eerie musical dimension to the Halloween screening.
The performance will take place on the concert hall’s striking organ, designed through a collaboration between architect Frank Gehry and organ builder Manuel Rosales.
