Thursday 5th November, 7:30pm - 9pm at Cowdray Hall

To celebrate Halloween we’re screening one of the earliest horror masterpieces, 1925’s 'The Phantom of the Opera’. 

Directed by Rupert Julian and starring Lon Chaney, the first film adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel ranks among the greatest horror films of the silent era. Filled with opulent costumes, extravagant sets and hundreds of extras, the film made dazzling early use of Technicolour.

For this very special screening and performance, Scottish composers Andrew Wasylyk and Tommy Perman have created a new haunting and dramatic score befitting of this silent era classic. Having released their first collaborative album, 'Ash Grey and the Gull Glides On’, in 2024 to critical acclaim and a Scottish Album Of The Year Award nomination, the pair come together once more celebrating an iconic piece of cinema history through their new accompanying soundtrack album, ‘House With A Curse’.

Expect a score with a present-day approach, navigating opera, neo-classical, acoustic and electronic instruments with elements of sound design. Not to be missed!

Andrew Wasylyk & Tommy Perman - ‘House With A Curse’, out 16/10/26 on Clay Pipe Music. Copies of the album will be available on the evening.

This screening is hosted in partnership with Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums.

Saturday 7th of November at Aberdeen Art Gallery from 1pm-8:35pm
