Phantom of the Opera silent screening
Before the days of CGI and IMAX, films were black-and-white, had no spoken dialogue and lacked the breathtaking music from composers like John Williams or Hans Zimmer. Bethel United Methodist Church is bringing back the silent film experience with a showing of the 1925 Phantom of the Opera, accompanied by music from the 1986 musical version composed by Andrew Lloyd Weber. Bethel’s own Greg Jones will play on the church’s pope organ for what is sure to be a haunting evening.
