About the Event

Step back into the glamour of cinema’s golden age on Saturday 16 August at 2 pm when West Ryde Anglican Church transforms into a grand picture palace for a special screening of the 1925 silent classic The Phantom of the Opera—its sweeping romance and gothic thrills brought vividly to life by renowned Australian organist David Bailey on the mighty Christie Cinema Organ. Lose yourself in Lon Chaney’s legendary performance while Bailey’s masterful, note-perfect improvisations surge through the pipework, surrounding you in a live soundtrack just as audiences experienced a century ago. Seats are limited, so secure your tickets now and be part of an unforgettable afternoon where historic film and magnificent theatre-organ artistry collide in spectacular style.
