THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
ONE CENTURY LATER
On Friday, October 10 at 7:00 p.m., the Concrete Theatre invites you to travel back in time—exactly 100 years—to the night when The Phantom of the Opera first appeared on our screen. Released in 1925, and shown in this very Theatre that same year, this silent masterpiece still casts its eerie spell a century later.
Starring the incomparable Lon Chaney, “the man of a thousand faces,” the film shocked audiences with his now-legendary transformation into the Phantom, a figure as tragic as he is terrifying. With lavish sets, a cast of thousands, and a story that unfolds in the shadows of the Paris Opera House, The Phantom of the Opera helped define horror cinema and continues to mesmerize to this day.
This isn’t just a movie night—it’s a piece of living history in the place where it first haunted audiences in 1925. Step into the past, feel the chill of the Phantom’s presence, and celebrate 100 years of movie magic, mystery, and madness here at the historic Concrete Theatre.
Arrive by 6:30 to be part of the pre-movie discussion. What was it like to live in Concrete when this movie played here in 1925? Has this horror film contributed to the haunting of the Concrete Theatre? Let us tell you a few stories about what we've seen and heard here!
Each guest receives free “Phantom Popcorn”—a mysterious mix of our classic theater popcorn, sweet M&Ms, and ghostly mini marshmallows. Each bite conjures up the magic and mischief of the century-old silent classic.
