The sacred space of Grace Cathedral will transform into a grand movie palace for a two horror classics.

Thursday, October 30th
Rupert Julian's immortal The Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney, will feature a live score performed on Grace's famous pipe organ by renowned organist and composer Dorothy Papadakos.
Currently a member of the GRAMMY-winning Paul Winter Consort and former Cathedral Organist of New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Papadakos has accompanied Phantom in venues around the world.
A scandal upon its release, The Phantom of the Opera was the first cinematic adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel concerning a spectral, disfigured composer living below the Paris Opera House and his unrequited love for a young opera singer. Dubbed "The Man of a Thousand Faces," Chaney created his own makeup for his role as the Phantom, and his unmasking is one of the most iconic moments in film history, reportedly causing audiences of the time to scream or faint. This performance will take full advantage of Grace's 7,500 pipe Aeolian-Skinner organ, a historic instrument installed in 1934 that has been played by many of the world's great organists and earned a place in jazz history as well, being employed for the premiere of Duke Ellington's Concert of Sacred Music in 1963 and pianist Vince Guaraldi's 1965 Jazz Mass.

Organist Dorothy Papadakos accompanies a screening of F.W. Murnau's 1922 vampire classic Nosferatu -- an iconic, unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula almost erased from history, starring the unforgettable Max Schreck as Count Orlok.
Currently a member of the GRAMMY-winning Paul Winter Consort and former Cathedral Organist of New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Papadakos has accompanied the greatest silent films in venues around the world. She will precede the screening with a brief history of the film and has often appeared in costume as the title character!
A film mired in controversy and finally released in the U.S. seven years after its German premiere, Nosferatu has retained its power to shock and terrify almost a century after its production, with Shreck's nightmarish vampire and innovative visual signature undiminished by time. With its basic plotline borrowed from Stoker's novel, the film and its makers were subject to a successful court case brought by Stoker estate, with a ruling ordering all copies of the film destroyed. A few prints survived, and the film rightly earned its place as a cinematic masterpiece.
