The Phantom of the Opera. With Robert Sholl, piano
The Phantom of the Opera (1925), directed by Rupert Julian. With improvised piano accompaniment by Robert Sholl.
This silent horror classic, starring Lon Chaney, is based on Gaston Leroux's novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (1910). Set inside the Palais Garnier in Paris, it tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius who haunts this Opera House, who falls in love with Christine, a young and talented soprano. The film is presented with improvised piano soundtrack by Robert Sholl.
Sholl has written widely on 20th-century music, and teaches at the Royal Academy of Music (London) and The University of West London. He recently played all the works of Messiaen, the 6 Vierne Symphonies and the complete works of Duruflé at Arundel Cathedral, and has given recitals at St Paul's Cathedral (London), The Madeleine and Notre-Dame de Paris. He has recorded silent film accompaniments (Youtube) and a CD at Coventry Cathedral to be released on Divine Art/Métier in 2023.
