New Sounds | May 24, 2010
From the New Sounds Live/Silent Film series at the World Financial Center, The Clubfoot Orchestra plays a new score by Richard Marriott for the Lon Chaney silent film “Phantom of the Opera.” Lon Chaney’s phantom is the quintessential horror film demon – both touching and terrifying, while Marriott's music underlies the mysterious phantom who is mad with love for Christine.
